Snow Storm Hits Over Half the Country - Trevor Haueisen 6th

Summary:
There's been a huge snow storm over half America.  The snow fell very rapidly and with out much warning leaving many people stranded in their cars turning roads into parking lots because cars couldn't move.  The storm caused to a few deaths as well because ambulances and other emergency crews had difficulty getting to injured people and talking them back to hospitals.

Analysis:
Now this is going to sound very confusing, but...this is likely one of the effects of global warming.  One of the many consequenses accosiated with global warming is extreme weather events.  It is very unusal to have this much snow, this early in the year (up to 6 feet in places like Buffulo).  Now in America (most say it started in England), the industrial revolution is attributed to starting with Samuel Slater, who opened the first industrial mill in the united states in 1790.  That's when all this pumping of greenhous gasses, like CO2, into the air started.

  1. I actually found this very interesting. It was so odd for us in texas to have snow in the middle of November. I like how much outside knowledge you pulled for your analysis.
