Sarah Childs- Snowstorm in the Northeast

Summary: The Northeast was pummeled Thursday for what looks to be the most significant storm of the season, with as much as a foot of snow of expected in some places as well as blizzard conditions. The first snow-related death was reported in New York on Thursday when a doorman shoveling snow on the Upper East Side died after slipping and falling through a glass window, New York police said. The 59-year old man, who sustained cuts to his neck and face, was pronounced dead at Metropolitan Hospital Center, according to police. New York, Boston and Philadelphia closed their public schools for the day. Two also declared snow emergencies, which affect city services and parking. All state offices in New Jersey were closed for nonessential personnel. Airlines had canceled more than 1,600 flights along the storm path as of midday Thursday. Most of those were at the Newark, New Jersey; Boston; and New York's LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International airports.

Analysis: This article was published by Eric Levinson from CNN on February  9, 2017. The author uses a third person point of view to convey an unbiased article. Additionally, I had no previous knowledge of these terrifying storms, so this article made me realize how important our snow emergancy facilities are. We need to use pur high technical skills to protect not only our citizens, but also to our environment.  This article was written for any citizen of the US, especially the ones located in the Northeast. Although this act was not as drastic as the conditions of the first winter in Jamestown, this could connect to this if you believe that the colonists were unprepared and dying by the minute.
