I had been preparing for weeks to visit my cousins in Massachusetts. I packed my snow pants, my sleds, and the rest of my winter gear, as the weather forecast spoke of a series of snowstorms to hit the Boston area. Every year I would come to Massachusetts to find nearly a foot of snow on the ground. I always looked forward to having snowball fights and sled races in the wooded hills behind my cousin’s house. However, this year the forest was different. I had entered searching for fun, and left…
So once upon a time I decided that I would learn how to ski. Now, I'm pretty sure everybody knows what skiing is. Where you get on a lift, go up a mountain, ski down, and then start all over again. Turns out there is a lot more to it than just pointing your skis in the direction you want to go and then ta-da. Learning how to stop is probably a very crucial factor in skiing, but I thought it was so easy that I could do it without much instruction. Turns out it's very important to get instructions…
Timothy Walt, a seventeen - year old boy scout had one big survival story to tell after his ordeal in climbing the Clavender Mountain in Aspen, Colorado near his hometown. It was June 22, 2017, a group of boy scouts assembling in the foot of Clavender Mountain for the “4th Annual Winter Survival. Timothy Walt was very excited to participate in the prestigious event. Timothy watched at the beauty of the mountain and it was magnificent – sharp peaks, stony slopes and serene ponds expansive to the…
The people of Nebraska, especially the children, teachers, and parents who had to face many challenges during the Schoolchildren’s Blizzard. In both the poem “A Woman’s Voice” by Ted Kooser and the article “Blizzard!” by Jeanie Mebane shows all the challenges the ones affected by the storm had to face. Both passages described the bravery and courage people needed to survive the blizzard. But both passages also described how many families were separated by the powerful storm. In both the poem, A…
I’m always the first one to go onto the slopes. You can’t wait for the lift to take you up, you stand in line eager to take you up the hill. You listen to your snow boot clamp against the ground as you stomp your way up to the front only to find the gondola is under repair and you must take a bus to the next one 3 miles away. And the worst part is trying to run in them is terrible because they weigh like 20 pounds…
Snow has arrived on the east coast. It’s cold. I’m sitting in my house wearing a snowsuit and drinking hot chocolate. The outside is a mess of fallen branches and frozen roads, and so I can’t replenish my dwindling soup supply. Now would be a great time to get on a plane and fly to California, the land of non-cold. I welcome you to join me. For the trip, I’ve built a playlist of nine grooving songs to put us in a California state of mind. You may be wondering why I have chosen nine songs to…
multiple, treacherous and seemingly never ending winter storms made there way through New England. All the snow sparked hibernation but also curiosity within me. I have noticed through out the last week that even the most experienced with snow are sent into frenzy at the sight of a single snowflake. Rhode Island, although small has a huge stereotype of freaking out the second someone says “snow”, but in a very strange way. With every storm whether it be hurricane Sandy or winter storm Nemo…
for an entire week! Filled with snow cream, sledding, and binge-watching shows with puzzles. What a week it was! During my snow week, one of my favorite things to do was make snow cream! The complete deliciousness of this cream is unbelievable! The milk, sugar, and vanilla together make a dreamy flavor. The one problem is, snow cream is not something you can just want and get. Snow cream is an amazing treat to go along with all the snow! Later on, the cold, wet snow froze my friend Libby and…

It illustrates inside a mouth, which its scenery of a avalanche of a winter cold storm, with a cabin, an ice snow cloudy trail going up, and with icicles on the teeth. Using location, coloring objects details, and audience appeal, this ad successfully and the clever use of several visual elements, he advertisers of the Dentyne Ice Gum ad…
More than 150 years ago, the invention of the camera, a now every day item, was made and its later counterparts would be the technology to predict deadly catastrophes and save millions of people. This modern technology is known as remote sensing. The term “remote sensing” was used first by Evelyn Pruitt of the U.S. Office of Naval Research in the 1950s. It is “commonly used to describe science-and art-of identifying, observing, and measuring an object without coming into direct contact with it”…
