throughout mid-December where there are some type of icy frost on the road and trees. The only thing that seemed too cool off the people here including their temper and attitudes it was the same everyday hot, sticky and stuffy no sign of movement of weather. The clouds just made a big circle around the city as is trying to avoid this place. It was the same everyday wake up in the morning wait for the sun to go down go outside play in the cooling asphalt and then come in for a really spice dinner…

An arctic climate such as northern Scandinavia is characterized by cold and long winters, and short and cool summers. Precipitation is generally in the snow form and annual precipitation for these regions is less than 20 inches. Temperature has a major influence on aquatic life in these regions. Temperature decreases in the winter and as sea ice solidifies, the amount of pore pace within the ice is reduced and the salinity increases. Organisms must be adapted to prevent the growth of ice…

The food wasn’t the only reason I flew out to Puerto Rico. I was there to escape from the cold weather I had back home, the rain, the snow, the darkness, the layers of clothes and wind. I could not wait to enjoy the sun, the beach, the coqui(a frog you are only able to find on the island) the fresh ocean water, the mountains, sand in between my toes and the beautiful palm trees that had coconuts hanging. I sat on my grandmother’s porch the sun was beaming against my face. My cheeks felt like a…

A cold chill hangs in the air during the predawn hours that slowly saunter by as I creep cautiously towards that one towering tree that will be home for that fateful opening day. The frigid textured steel greets my exposed hands with a rough hello as the ascent to my treestand begins. Finally, as my body shudders from lack of warmth the platform is underneath my feet and I begin to layer on camouflage clothing. Without archery hunting or any type of hunting I lack stress relief as I…

American rock climbing has undergone many changes, but the key aspects that have formed out of the popularizing of rock climbing have stayed the same. Lawrence C. Hamilton expresses that rock climbing is “characterized by (1) a motivation or reward structure that encourages the continual creation of new climbs, and (2) a finite and exhaustible medium in which to create them” (Hamilton 1979, 285). Rock climbing has become a new subculture and a lifestyle consisting of its own values, language,…

The post card arrived, from the Siberian Gulag, two days ago. On the front of it was a picture of several men chopping down trees in the snow. The backside read: “Hello from the Gulag! The past week has been an interesting and cold one at this camp. The activities here are rather physically grueling but I don’t mind. In this one game, we chop down trees and carry it to a cart that another group brings to a station for some other game. We also play a game that involves digging holes in the frozen…

over time and affected our society. It started in 650 B.C. and now in 2016 we use meteorology to detect weather patterns. In 650 B.C. babylonians tried to predict short-term weather changes based on the appearance of clouds and occurrence such as “haloes”.

I looked out the window to see the USPS mail van pulling up to my mailbox. I look back at my television playing Doctor Who. When a thought comes into my mind, what if that is the package I have been waiting for. I reach for the silver and black Comcast remote to pause the show. I pause it, put the remote back on my bed and got up. When I get to the door, I realize it was raining out so I ran to the mailbox, got the mail with my package and ran back inside. When I got back I opened the letter…

If I had only known that evening when I went to my brother’s basketball game. I didn’t know at that time what was going to happen.
