“Crow Hill” The line from this poem of “When it is not wind it is rain” reminded me of every day in Florida. The weather here is so bipolar. One second it can be a sky full of direct sunshine and then the next second it is pouring down rain with a heavy overcast and booming thunder. Most of the time I am inside when this happens but a few times I have been caught outside. Once when this happened recently, my whole family and I were at Poe Springs for my seventeenth birthday on a Sunday in…

The overall climate of the Appalchian region can greatly vary depending on which area is being focused on. In most areas, the climate is temperate and humid under 2000ft of elevation, and gets colder as the elevation increases. Also, the climate is temperate as the mountains are in very close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Furthermore, fog is usually present year-round because cold waters from the Labrador Current collide with warm waters from the Gulf Stream. Moreover, the air pushes the…

In Ray Bradbury’s October Country, we see the theme of autumn’s weather play out in multiple stories. In his story The Lake he gives us a setting of the ending of summer and the beginning of autumn, “It was September. In the last days when things are getting sad for no reason. [sic] The beach was so long and lonely with only about six people on it.

blustery outside. Most of us on Long Island haven't given much thought to cold weather lurking around the corner – beyond scheduling the annual heating system check-up and pulling the heavy drapes out of the linen chest. We're still enjoying the cooler nights and milder daytime temperatures after a hot, sultry summer. But, cold weather will arrive sooner than you think. The good news is that even cold, dreary weather outside doesn't have to mean a dark, muffled atmosphere inside. If you're…

There are several factors that go into making an ice storm and a sleet or snow storm. Temperature has a lot to do with this if not everything to do with what happens if we are to get precipitation. When the meteorologist calls for an ice storm there is a lot that goes into knowing how and why it will be ice instead of snow. First and for most the earth’s surface temperature has to reach the freezing point of 32 F. This lets us know that anything type of precipitation will freeze once it hits the…

Seasons are what make life fascinating. If we just stuck to one season all year life would be very blank and quiet predictable. We have four seasons in a year, spring, summer, autumn and winter. The most commonly acknowledged seasons would be summer and winter, probably being people’s favorites too. Summer and winter have very different climates, one reaching extremely hot temperatures while the other reaches extremely cold temperatures. Both seasons have their own benefits or disadvantage when…
