Snowmageddon?- Myles Bennett

Major snow storm, Juno, is coming to New York tonight and is expected to blow into tomorrow and possibly Wednesday. Reports say that New York especially will get multiple feet of snow by the time Juno is finished wreaking havoc. This is supposedly the worst storm in the recorded of history of the East Coast! Travel bans are in place and people are advised to stay off the streets.

Analysis: Many factors in the early part of our countryhood kept us from traveling and expanding into new territories. Sometimes it was weather, other times it was geographical difficulties. Many people couldn't survive the harsh winters on the road to expansion so they decided to stay indoors. New Yorkers today may think they will be fine in the snowflakes hurling down, but they must keep their ancestors who died during the cruel winter months in mind and put their health as the top priority.

  1. Yeah I agree. People shouldn't be worried about their business or work at this time and instead focus on their safety.

  3. What is interesting is that i did not know that they named blizzards like they name hurricanes. Over the past day, in many areas, the snow fall has not been as sever as people were warned that it would be.
