Short Term Implication Of Snow Angels

The surprisingly low number of incidents recorded during rainy, snowy and icy weather may reflect increased attention to roadway conditions and lowered expectations by the driver.”

When people are on winter break, most want to go out and play in the snow, but who knew that the snow could be one's worst nightmare when stubbornness comes into play. Most people go out on an enjoyable snow-white day to sled down snowy hills and fling semi-hard snowballs at each other. No one would think that maybe sledding down the snowy hills could be so dangerous when they are having fun, and trying to show off. I certainly did not think that it was dangerous, but boy was I so wrong. Normally being a Los Angeles girl, going up to Big Bear is such an amazing experience, because down in the Los Angeles region it does not snow at all. However, I was not ready to face what was slowly going to change me in the mountains of California.

I am a self-directed volunteer as a peer community worker for disabled people in Toronto GTA. I am willing to speak with you, in groups or publicly any time about it. Nonetheless; when rough times have fallen upon my life and health in the past, I have always responded with humor and generosity since, my gratitude is the state of mind of thankfulness. Most people can describe me as being direct, humorous, down to earth and caring for the fellow humans. At this moment in time, I am the founder and manager of Peer Community Hub, as well as a social entrepreneur whose ideas, tasks and values are to build peer to peer community drop-in center for disabilities who are directed by disability people. History of street life, disability, and cornice

After you’ve embraced the fresh snow, get the neighbors. Ask them to come outside so that you can have an even better snow day with awesome snowball fights. The more neighbors you have, the better the day.

The article titled "The man with the snow job" appears in the Opinion Pages, The New York Times. Author, Gail Collins, opens her article with the question: “Who is to blame for this weather?” which hooks readers’ attention and makes them curious about what they are going to read. In her writing, Collins talks about the current snowstorm in the United States and how it is used for everyone’s advantage. She also points out how government officials such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Gore, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama use the occasion of snowfall for their own purposes. The author borrows images of global warming effects to discuss some controversial problems in the society these days. She applies the following elements to establish the

In USA, one in three adults over age 65 suffer fall while 20% to 30% experience moderate to severe injuries (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010). In 2010, the cost of falls among elderly people for US health care system was over $30 billion (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010). Over the last few decades the rate of fall related deaths in USA has sharply been escalating. Many older adults have developed the fear of falling, limiting their social activity and forcing them to live in fear. Some adults suffer lacerations, fracture and trauma during fall, deteriorating their quality of life.

A normal day can turn into a day filled with icy cold snow and warm hot chocolate just by one call. One call that gives everyone around the school district a sigh of relief that they can curl up back in their comfy beds and sleep for an extra two or more hours. Some may wonder how one call makes everyone’s day so much better: it is because it is a call from the school saying there is no school today due to icy conditions. Upon hearing this one can be sure that their phone will be buzzing with ones friends asking what they are doing today, or maybe one snoozes through all the texts and continues to curl up in one’s warm blankets, with dogs heating ones feet. No matter what one chooses to do there always seems to be a trend as one gets older. This trend is that in the grades kindergarten through fifth grade, children love snow days to stay outside and play; then in grades sixth through ninth, children love snow days to stay inside and watch movies; finally children tenth through twelfth grade, children love snow days to again go outside and play.

Many seniors live in areas where cold weather is a way of life, especially in winter. These are not the chilly breezes that come off the water in Florida, these are freezing temperatures that can cause severe hardships, loss of power and electricity, frozen pipes, and loss of services. In-home care personnel can help your senior loved ones prepare for the cold weather.

So instead of chalking it as a loss I decided to take action and get creative. What I really like about snow workouts is that they train the body's energy systems so well. Energy systems are how your body utilizes oxygen and nutrients to perform physical tasks. Short bursts of high intensity exercise (like sprints) will greatly increase the performance of the body's energy systems. The obvious first choice for me was sidewalk shoveling. My wife suggested this exercise first thing in the morning. Yay! I ended up doing my walk and steps, the neighbors on both sides, and the connecting sidewalk out front. The twisting movements involved with shoveling, with the added weight of snow can give the core muscles a great workout. Make sure to switch hands every 10-15 reps while shoveling to make sure both sides of the core get a beating. I would advise a back brace to aid in good posture while shoveling. Improper lower back position with external loading can cause significant injury. The muscles most affected by shoveling are the External Obliques (love handles), Serratus Anterior (outer rib meat), Tendonous Inscriptions (six pack), and Gluteus Medius (upper butt, lower back). This muscle group is very important for athletic performance. Strengthening these muscles also helps to prevent back injuries by absorbing loads that might stress bone and

Clean your gutters before the snow flies. Why? If water from melting snow and the cold rains of winter cannot easily run through your gutters and spill to the ground, it will find a way

Every winter, 22 millions tons of road salt, approximately 137 pounds per person, are used by U.S. officials to melt the ice on the roads during cold weather. By depressing the freezing point of the water, salt melts the ice left on roads during snowstorms, making roads safer to drive. Applying salt to roads has now become a standard for fighting snow, due to its low-cost and effectiveness.

2 Snow removal is addressed separately from the general maintenance of driveways, walks, etc. The Association is responsible for maintaining driveways and walks as well as living unit steps and patios. See Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements for Whispering River (“Declaration”) at Art. VII § 1 (referencing “walks and other exterior improvements” (emphasis added)). However, the Association is not responsible for snow removal on walkways, steps, patios, or decks. Declaration at

Now you might ask, why were the residents of Princeton Commons snowed in if they had people to do it? Princeton Commons Management brought in a new snow removal company for the 2015-2016 winter season. The people shoveling during the blizzard, walked off the job! They walked off the job because the 27 inches was too overwhelming for

I would like to focus and investigate the lack of age appropriate transportation services for the elderly and people with disabilities. The issue of transportation becomes a major concern when the elderly and people who are disabled develop uncontrollable age related illnesses and are no longer healthy to drive. Losing the privilege to drive brings independence to an end and forces the elderly to stay at home which may lead to despair and other emotions. Therefore, it is essential to provide our senior citizens and people with disabilities with reliable transportation to help them maintain their independence. It is important to create reliable services to support them in making choices about how they want to live the last years of their

On a snowy and windy night, I was at Barnes & Noble in Green Bay with my friends, Alan and Karina. Christmas music played overhead, the smell of hot chocolate and freshly brewed coffee wafted over, the customers were kind and cheerful, and snow was beginning to blanket the parking lot outside. We were sitting near the cafe wrapping books to support their mom’s school fundraiser. I stared outside and remembered my mom’s warning of the large snowfall that was almost upon us. Around 7:15, the snowflakes were becoming larger and we could barely see outside the window.
