New York Snow Storm


On October 13 in buffalo, New York there was a snow storm that produced at least 2 feet of snow. The airport had to be shut down so that they could remove 14 inches of snow from the runways. Many trees and telephone poles toppled to the ground under the pressure of the heavy snow fall.
At least 3 people’s deaths were blamed on the snow storm. Two people were killed in traffic accidents. Another person was killed while shoveling snow, a tree limb fell on them. Much of the town’s power was out due to the powers lines being down. So many supplies had to be brought in by snow mobiles.
I think that this early snow storm was due to global warming because the wind patterns and weather have all been affected. New York also has many polluting thing and the air quality is very poor. I think that in order to stop global warming we need to recycle and use fewer pollutants such as oil in our cars.

I would suggest that we not use the term "Global Warming" to describe what is going on with climate in various parts of the world. Instead I would encourage "Global Climate Change." I think it is a more accurate description of what is going on.
