John Snow

It had started snowing in October. It was now early March and the snow had not ceased to blow. Never before in his life of twenty-seven years had Bill has seen a winter like this. He had lost over half his herd from the cold. Many had been buried in the snow and he had to ride looking for steam holes rising through the surface of the snow. When he would find one and the snow was too deep to pull them out, he dug a hole in the snow where the steam was rising from, deep enough to put them out…

than others was like eating rotten eggs. This always had tendencies of getting me into trouble. While snowboarding down, the snow was pure white, soft as if it were marshmallow fluff or clouds in the sky. If you took a step onto the snow your feet would disappear into the ground. The sky had elegant snowflakes gliding down that kept building on to the already abundant snow that lay there, although it was gray, and covered in clouds it didn't deter from the beautiful scenery. The trees marked…

Valcourt, Quebec is a very snow heavy place in Canada. The roads were never plowed in rural areas like Valcourt back in the 1920’s, making outside travel during the winter impossible. Growth was slow, towns were very spread apart, and illness during these periods spelled death with the inability to travel. What if one machine could change all of those things and more? Joseph Armand Bombardier thought so when he created the first snowmobile in 1922. More so, the snowmobile was the largest bolster…

I walked through blurring snow and glistening flakes that were swirling around me up the hill to the old barn door in order to find shelter in the blizzard. I pushed open the door just enough to get through and entered the barn. There were fresh hay bales all over and I sat down on one and looked around examining my surroundings. I did a quick scan and nothing caught my attention at first, however, I scanned again and I saw what appeared to be an old antique chest in the far left corner of the…

Paragraph 1-Song-Let it Snow The reason I picked this song is pretty self explanatory. I picked this song because in the beginning of the book when Percy’s Mom is driving them it is snowing. The snow and sleet “Pounds down on the road”. This song let it snow fits perfectly for the scene when it is snowing. The reason is in the song it says, “Let it snow” and while they are in the car they want it to keep snowing because they like snow. This is the reason for this song. Paragraph 2-Song-I…

all of the glaciers in the world disappear. Planet Earth loses its winter season and the new generation of kids won 't experience snow. Everyday is like summer and regular day has sixteen hours of sunlight and 8 hours of night time. People everyday die of heat stroke. David is a average 14 year old boy. He likes to visit his grandpa to listen to his stories about snow and he always thought how it will feel like. As usual he arrived to his high school and his first class of the day was science.…

totally impassable without snowshoes. Weighing in my predicament I knew this could totally end our chances of having banana bread tonight. Then I got an idea I could just duck tape my avalanche shovel to my boot and it would help me stay afloat in the snow. With my modified snowshoe rigged up we started out with nothing but banana bread on our minds. Hours later we neared the trail head seeing this I began to run towards the car my modified snowshoe was barely intact but I didn’t care. We let…

Ski patrols work in some of the most dangerous conditions faced by first responders. Not only do they face precarious snow conditions en route to emergencies; but they also must carry all their equipment on their backs and perform rescues in below freezing temperatures. Some patrollers are also trained to rescue individual’s off chairlifts if necessary. On top of the already difficult job of rescuing injured skiers, patrollers also monitor trail conditions, and provide skiers with opportunities…

The Great Snowboarder So one day a boy named Evan 16 yrs was hanging out outside with his friend Nathan 16 yrs. All of a sudden they hear a big noise. BANG ! “What was that?” Nathan said. “i don't know,” said Evan. They both went to the highway where the noise came from and they saw two cars severely damaged, so they tried to see if the people were ok. They weren't ok and they were very hurt. Evan ran back to the house and to get the truck. He got back right away and they loaded the hurt people…

Big Bird Imagine being a fledgling, soaring through the sky, the wind fluttering through your feathers. Complete freedom. Then suddenly, the cool autumn breeze turns into a slicing gust of winter air. You become sick and cold. You realize you are alone in the world and have nowhere to go. This is how I found my soon to be budgie. It was the beginning of winter, just before a harsh cold front hit, when I found and rescued a sickly budgie from the forces of Mother Nature, just a year ago.…
