On January 20,2014. Dallas Texas was a bad weather. It was much snows, and the damage was broken cares and some houses. The police officer did not allow people to go outside because the risk was more effect. However, many people attempted to ride a car because the cause wanted to go the hospital.

As a fifth grader living in Houston, it was surely an exciting day. However, I came to expect the same thing to happen every year, or more often at least. Years passed by and no snow has fallen since that day, but why? Even though snow is highly unlikely in Houston, it still made me wonder about the reasons if its unlikeliness.

In her New York Times article, journalist E. J. Graff describes the devastation in the city of Boston caused by epic record-breaking blizzards. In contrast to the beautiful pictures of a city covered under snow normally seen by the readers, she points out towards the despair of the people living in terrible conditions. Thus, she indicates that the historic ruin has destroyed roofs, roads, gutters and sidewalks. Moreover, it has closed schools, businesses, highways, public transport and forced people to be confined to their houses. And she claims that decades of underinvestment and alleged mismanagement by Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority have ceased the country’s oldest subway system. Additionally, she conveys the tragedy associated

In eastern Ontario and Southern Quebec during the early 1998 winter months the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico met the cold northern air, which created a monstrous ice storm that devastated many people's lives. After the cold and warm air met the warm air rose above the cold air creating clouds, as a result snow and rain fell from the clouds resulting in a blizzard. Since the air was freezing cold the water droplets froze and a sheet of ice on top of snow covered everything, the ice storm had begun. Due to the fact that the weather didn’t let off there was continuous freezing rain for five days. The ice piled up on trees and power lines was to heavy for them to withstand the weight therefore the power lines and trees snapped. The fallen trees

Do you like snow? You don’t need to answer, simply wondering whether the recent weather has brightened your days; maybe the sudden cold has helped you warmed up to Canada. If not that’s fine too, even though you really should reconsider. As winter sets in an amazing variety of activities arise: making snowmen, snow forts and snow angels; or even going ice skating, having snowball fights, and don’t forget playing hockey. Yes, there are a lot of uses for snow, however, you could also stay in and you would still be occupied; you could sit and drink hot cocoa, or eggnog, with a nice book or one of the many Christmas movies on TV. Rather stay moving, set up for the holidays; Christmas, Kwanza, Hanukkah or New Year’s Eve. Winter break, starting

The impacts of anticyclones and depressions vary, as does the period they remain and the effect they have. The North American blizzard of 2003 lasted for five days throughout February and occurred on the East Coast of the USA and Canada. It was a record-breaking blizzard, which caused 27 deaths and over $14 million worth of damage. The cities in America were bought to a standstill, as there was a range of 38-76cm of snow covering the ground. The cause for such an unusually extreme blizzard was the fact that the conditions were favourable, with moisture from the Atlantic Ocean enhancing precipitation and a high pressure system over Canada, allowing cold air to be brought down coastal areas. This meant that the precipitation was mainly snow, hence the record-breaking statistics. The effects this storm had were mainly short-term, but the roof of the historic Railroad Museum collapsed and 27 people lost their lives. Additionally, transport infrastructure was brought to a halt, and three major airports were also closed.

The first memory of that day that they each recalled was where they were living. At first, this may seem like a mundane recollection. However, this does matter because depending on where one lived in the city, they may have different stories to tell. For example, if one lived on an exclusively residential street, the snow may have trapped one in their house for several days. Contrarily,the plows clear major roads first, so the snow confined people who lived on a busy

The air was cold and dry. Although Christmas would come in ten days, there wasn't a slightest indication of eventual snowfall. The streets were barren like an abandoned wasteland. People were filling their front yards with Christmas trees, stringing lights around their houses, and putting a giant snowman on their roof. Refusing to cave into this so-called holiday spirit, I decided to walk faster.

The snowplows have not cleared the roads in almost a week because it has been snowing for five straight

Local residents stood on the side of the road to catch a bus or taxi with no stop signs. I thought about how standing in the hot sun for long periods of time wasn’t good for me, so if I had used public transportation it would have to be on less sunny days. Their buses looked like vans back home, and people were crammed in them like sardines. I would not like that, but if I lived there I would have to get used to it, or find other means of transportation.

Ans: There was a snowstorm on Saturday, January 2nd, which was very serious and caused over 10 inches of snowfall. Northwest Airlines had been too late to halt the departure of their planes from other cities to Detroit, on of its largest hub. They made the decision to let 30 planes land in Detroit on Sunday, neglecting those 14 inches of snow and the severe weather condition. Luckily, all the planes were landed successfully without any major accidents or disasters. However, the planes had to sit on the tarmac for over 8 hours before they could deplane their passengers. All the food, water and drinks were used up
