Do Blizzards That May Result In Frostbite Or Hypothermia?

Here are some things hurricanes can destroy, houses, boats, cars, trucks, and stores. A positive thing is that people know when a hurricane is coming. An effect is that Hurricanes affect people by boarding up doors and windows. Another effect is that Hurricanes can cause damage to buildings and vehicles.

Mother Nature can form many powerful storms, such as hurricanes, blizzards, typhoons, and cyclones. However, the two storms that are significant to the New England area are hurricanes and blizzards due to their extremely powerful type of weather. Hurricanes and blizzards can be catastrophic and cause excessive damage, however under different conditions. Blizzards involve large mass amounts of snow covering a wide area, while a hurricane involves excessive rain and tremendous winds. Both storms are quite different; however, there are a few similarities. A hurricane is characterized by thunderstorms, strong winds, and heavy rains. A blizzard is a storm with dry, strong winds, and intense cold. Blizzards and hurricanes are two natural phenomena that make an interesting comparison and contrast in how they are formed and how disastrous they can be.

In 1888 on a Thursday afternoon 235 people were killed by a blizzard on their way home from school. Taking place in the Northwest Plains region of the United States the blizzard came without a warning temperature went down 100 degrees in a 24 hour. On a Thursday afternoon, a day before the storm it was unusually warm from Montana east to the Dakotas and south to Texas. Then suddenly within a couple hours the Arctic air that came from Canada went South. In North Dakota temperatures went forty degrees below zero. High winds and heavy snow came with the storm which caused terrible conditions. In rural areas adults working on farms and children coming home from school were the ones who were mostly affected by the blizzard. A schoolteacher in Pawnee

This storm quickly took over the area and showed people how unprepared for the storm they were. Actual temperature was -7 degrees Fahrenheit with wind shield factors of -50 to -60 degrees Fahrenheit. Visibility during the storm went to zero during the storm. This further complicated people trying to get back home or to pick someone up.

This is a Public Service Announcement for Willow, Alaska residents and all who plan on attending the start of the Iditarod dog sled race. The National Weather service is calling for temperatures below zero, hovering at -20*F and -25*F. All fans attending the start of the International dog sled race are advised to take precautions against frostbite, which can result in serious or life threatening damage to the body. Here are several tips to remain safe in this extreme weather: wear warm clothing in loose layers and have a waterproof coat. Cover all exposed skin, and consider wearing a scarf or face mask to warm your breath. Make sure clothing isn’t too tight as that can restrict blood flow to the tissues. Make sure snow cannot get in clothes

“Who back East or down South could have conceived of a land where the temperature could fall eighteen degrees in just three minutes?” the author stated. (Laskin, 39) This actually occurred in the nation’s history. It is somewhat expected to have some days where one has to bring a light jacket for later in the day because it is predicted to get cooler. “Who would have guessed that farmers and school children could start their days in shirtsleeves, without heavy overcoats, only to experience wind chills that night that were forty degrees below zero?” the author wrote. (Laskin, 39) The people who had to endure the freakish drop of temperature and monster of a blizzard definitely did not predict any of this could ever happen. Had the people been

Three years ago, what I thought was only supposed to be any other November night, turned into a blizzard that made headlines all over Northwest Kansas, specifically affecting Colby and Atwood, leaving us with over 20 inches of thick, heavy snow (Newton). It piled up against houses, and blocked roads. The snow fell fast and it fell

Frostbite and matches. Not a great combination. In the story, "To Build a Fire" by Jack London, a man is out walking in subzero temperatures and he attempts to build a fire. His hands were frostbitten but he had thick mittens. Since Jack London was a very grim writer, he destined this man to fail, but our teachers thought it would be a marvelous idea to give a class of 7th graders matches, and let them endeavor to build a fire like the man in the story. Of course, the students were extremely excited to be allowed to make a fire, but there was a catch. The students had to be wearing oven mitts to replicate the thick mittens the man was wearing, and for safety reasons. We also had only a specific set of materials, and we had to finish in thirty

Winter is a dangerous. Everything's frozen and since it always rains here,the rain gets frozen over too. That means barely any cars or people can get anywhere and the ones that try usually get hurt or worse. There is little you can do to get rid of the ice so sometimes it stays for weeks,but that's not the only health hazard.

Cities, Vegetation, and Animals are affected when a blizzard occurs. Cities are affected because they can lose power, stores will have to close and the city will not make as much money and people can be trapped in their houses. Vegetation is affected because vegetation needs sunlight and a steady amount of water and in a blizzard the sun is blocked and it takes snow a while to melt and create water. Animals are affected because animals fur coats can only keep the animal warm for so long that if a blizzard is happening, the animals will freeze to

Frost (Ice’s mother) was considered to be one of the most skilled hunters in the Great Cold. She could catch nigh anything, and was sought by many suitors - she did not, however, find any of them appealing, and instead chose to remain single through most of her young-adulthood. Mold (Ice’s father) was just an average cat belonging to the Red Forest who just happened to enjoy hunting on the fringes of the territory closest to the Great Cold. He had a fantastic sense of humor, and was generally a likable cat, but ultimately nothing extraordinary. One day, Mold happened across Frost, who’d been chasing a rabbit - he helped her corner it, but she was indignant at his apparent appraisal of her skills - she began to berate him, but he only waited, shocked, until she’d finished speaking.

For the composition assignment, I have taken two pictures one located inside my home and the other outside. After taking a total of ten pictures and nearly getting hypothermia from lying in the snow twice, I have narrowed down the two pictures that I believe fallow the guidelines that where discussed in class. The first successful picture that was taken is of a leaf stem that is sticking up after being covered in snow. How I believe the picture follows the composition guidelines is how close the subject is.By lying in the snow to change my point of view so I could be eye to eye with the subject, I have managed to blur out the background of the picture and direct the focus on the stem in front.Also,I have also added in detail that I felt

People have a home but once the home is destroyed, there is no roof to stay under. Everything such as money and belongings will be all gone meaning everyone will have to start over. People would become greedy and criminal like since no one has anything left. If people see things that are valuable, people will fight and argue to win that valuable thing causing war leading to death. Everyone will starve because of hunger. No one will have the utensils and time to cook. If there were things to cook with, there will be no crops or animals left to cook/eat. In conclusion, natural disasters have a huge effect to the environment and people. War will start since everything would be extremely valuable, everyone will fight to get what they need and want.

I went Jewel Lake for ice fishing few weeks ago with my friend and her family. There was some people doing ice fishing or skating. The hazards what I found are falling through the ice, hypothermia, windchill, and frostbite.

In antarctica it’s the coldest and windiest continent on Earth making it extremely easy to get frostbite a horrible and painful condition. Frostnip is the first step of frostbite where the tissues begin to cool without any cellular destruction. The area affected may change color usually a pasty white. Once the wind chill makes the temperature feel like -24 or colder, skin exposed can freeze in less than 30 minutes. To avoid frostbite don’t have any skin exposed or wet clothing on, it will just make the tissues in your body freeze faster . The expedition Shackleton and his crew took on when their ship sank they were outside,under a boat or in a tent . They didn’t have enough blankets or dry clothing for everyone making the risk of frostbite
