Research Paper On Bill Blizzard

According to Richard Wild, the first use of the word ‘blizzard’, to define a set of weather conditions, was used in 1860 to describe a mid-west weather event in which “warm and balmy” condition suddenly took a turn for the cold.

In my childhood home there was a large bookshelf full of different stories. Most days when getting home I would sit by the shelves in my small pink bean bag chair with numerous children books scattered around me. By endlessly trying and sometimes failing to read my children books such as, the infinite number of Dr. Seuss rhyming stories and Winnie-the-Pooh books I felt comforted by the happy feeling the characters within the stories gave me.
