The Blizzard Research Paper

A New York Times article, penned during the height of the 1888 storm captures the sense of surprise felt by east coast urbanites: “When the people began to stir to go about their daily tasks and vocations they found that a blizzard, just like those they have been accustomed to read about as occurring in the far West, had struck the city and its environs and had laid an embargo on the travel and traffic of the greatest city on the continent” (1888, web). The Times’ piece registered disbelief at the notion that something that typically was only reputed to occur in the west had struck the east coast.

However, my parents always understood me. My sister would encourage me to do things that most people would put me down for. I was really good at singing when I was 10 years old. I’ll never forget my older sister always asking me sing for her. As the year progressed, my mother started getting extremely sick. My sister and I never thought anything of it because our mom was always sick. This was simply because she walked to work everyday. She had to walk not because we did not have a vehicle, but it was because my mother could not drive. An accident occurred years before I was even born. My mother’s legs locked up and she crashed. It would take years of physical therapy to recover from it. She also wasn 't supposed to be able to have any

During the second trimester is when my mother Donna, found out that she was pregnant with me. One morning she got out of the bed doing her normal routine and went to use the restroom where she then passed out on the bathroom floor. My father Patrick, rushed her to Florida memorial hospital in Miami dade county. She said that she woke up and Dr. Joeseph walked into the room, and told her that she was dehydrated and not getting taking in enough iron. Dr. Joseph then proceeded to include, as he handed her an ultra sound picture that she was thirteen weeks pregnant with me. She was in shock, because she said that she always knew when she was pregnant from having two pregancies prior to me there was always a sign but this time it wasn't because she was still having a menstral cycle.

Blizzards are a type of extreme weather that involves the combination of heavy snow and intense winds. The conditions needed for a blizzard is a cold air mass, which carries temperatures below the freezing point of water, moisture in the air that is responsible for cloud creation, and the movement of warm air rising over the cold air mass, which causes the formation of clouds and precipitation.

As she walks into the room, all I could see is her eyes overflowing with tears. I turn over to find my sister also tearing up. We all come together for a hug. I try not to cry as it was embarrassing for me. It would have shown that I wasn’t prepared. But to be honest nobody was prepared. I mean why would they. It was a hospital. As everything starts to settle down, I glance around the room to see most of the people are women. Not just regular women. Pregnant women. They had babies inside of them. One was inside of my mom. Why would a place safe for pregnant women actually turn out to be life threatening?

What would you do if you woke up one morning to see your house covered in snow? Then your boss told you to come into work today. Also you heard there was going to be a snow storm so you didn’t do your homework, but then school isn't canceled. Honestly who would go to work or school during a blizzard? If you want to be ready for a blizzard then read this essay. Consider creating a game plan, having a food supply, and investing in survival tools.

The blizzard is coming. The blizzard is coming, and it will freeze everything in its path. The blizzard is coming, and it will blind everyone in its way.

On July, 25, 2015 two beautiful twins came in this world.While going in labor my sister, Keishanna, was very nervous and happy for the babies to come out. Keishanna was having horrible contraction that was coming back every ten minutes. She was breaking in sweat and freaking out because the pain was killing her so bad. While she was going through the contraction, my mother said," Birth is not only about making babies, Birth is about making mothers strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength." My sister took that advise and took the pain. Keishanna was in labor about two hour, but to her it seem like it been forever. Finally, thats when the doctor said," It's time for the babies to come." This was

When I was four years old I heard my named and then a loud bump in the middle of the night. It was my mom who had fallen in the floor who was unresponsive when I got to her. I called 911, then ran next door which my little sister’s Godmother lived and got her up. She came over and called my grandmother, while waiting on the ambulance. When we got to the hospital the doctor said that my mom had a stroke. I did not know it at the time but they gave her six months to live. They told her

About one day later Dale had waken up, and the doctors were allowing visitors to come and see her. We walked into the room gave my aunt Cindy a hug and just stood there you could hear a pin drop, her face/head had all been wrapped in gauze and she was hooked up to 3 machines, it was horrifying I didn't think that getting hit by a bus in the head could make a person become soinjured. I went over and said hello and gave her a hug, it was weird it wasn't normal, by normal I mean when I used to hug her it was warm and made you feel happy, now it was limp and made you feel depressed. By now almost half of my family was there, me, my mom, my 2 brothers Nicholas and Tyler, my uncle, my other aunt, my 4 cousins Emily, Jackie, Marie and Matthew, and my Yiayia and Papou were all there, we were there for her. In this moment I realized how much love was actually in my family. We were all there supporting a lady who wasn't even actually blood related to us.

Blizzards are dangerous winter storms that are a combination of blowing snow and wind resulting in very low visibilities. While heavy snowfalls and severe cold often accompany blizzards, they are not required. Sometimes strong winds pick up snow that has already fallen, creating a ground blizzard.

I know the nurses always commented on how strong and brave I was because they said they would have never been able to stay in bed as long as I did. My oldest daughter was almost three and she was at home having night terrors. I went to the doctors and then the hospital and admitted and she had no idea what happened to me. My husband parents came in from Las Vegas to help with my daughter. One day my doctor that I was assigned to at the hospital came in my room and said we needed to talk. He started explaining to us anything and everything that could be wrong or go wrong due to a preterm birth. There was so much information and finally we had to tell him to stop. I told him "Whatever happens, happens. This is in God's hands now and out of our control. I tried and did everything I could to give him a fighting chance". The had me on a terbutaline pump to help with contractions. The hours, days and weeks, went by until one night my water broke. I called the nurse and they did some test and said it was not my water, but I knew it was because I felt the gust of warm liquid come out. I think I started having some mild contractions because I was starting to get uncomfortable. The next morning my

My name is Darla Days and I was 17 years old when I wore something other then my sisters clothes. All my life I recieved hand me downs from my six older sisters because my sorry parents were to lazy, to drunk, or to irresponsible to get me my own stuff.I was born In Long Island,NewYork in a small two-story semi-detatched house. There wasn't enough of anything in ym famikly,so since I was near the bottom of our family line,I recieved everything nobodhy wanted anymore. Of all of my sisters,I was always told I was the prettiest and I was the smallest,besides my baby sister Nora. I loved her and I wanted so bad,for her not to have to go through what I went through. I got beat up and abused,because everyine else was angry at the way they were

On Tuesday morning November 8, 2016, I woke up with extreme pain in my lower abdomen. When I got out of bed I was dizzy and had a hard time walking. I made it to the bathroom and sat down on the toilet. When the pain did not start to feel any better, and all I could see was black I yelled for my mother. When my mother got to me she just stared at me and asked me what was wrong because my head was hanging and I could not speak. When she lifted my head, she noticed my face was very pale and then I passed out. At this point she called for my father and when he saw me he said we need to take her to the hospital. My father carried me to the car and they rushed me to the hospital. On the way to the hospital I was lying down in the backseat crying and screaming in excruciating pain, and did not know where I was. My then, twelve-year-old brother began to cry because he had never seen me in so much pain.

I am going to begin my life story between the ages of 5 and 8. I remember this being a genuinely positive time for me. Nothing traumatic seemed to happen. My family all got along really well, and we were happy. I was involved in lots of musical things such as piano lessons, plays, and the Rialto children’s choir. Everything was going well for me, and I wanted nothing to change. Of course, avoiding change is impossible. When I was 7 years old, my Mom gave birth to my youngest brother Eddie. When I first found out I was terrified, no one, not even me knew why. I just had this sudden fear my mother was going to die. But after he was born I was ecstatic, and those fears faded into something of the past. Little did we know that was just the beginning of a much larger problem. But that didn’t arise for about another year. So until then things just kept going as normal, My parents, brothers and I, all living happy semi-normal lives.
