Snow in 49 states!



Some interesting news:
      Yesterday (Tuesday, Jan. 12) the National Weather Service reported that there is snow in 49 states! Blizzards are whipping across many states (like New York) and many airports are having to shut down and cancel flights. Even Hawaii has snow! Even though the snow can be pretty, it's causing all sorts of chaos because cities and towns don't know how to deal with large amounts of snow.

Florida is the only lucky state without snow right now.  
          

Buried: A National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center map showing how 49 out of 50 states currently have snow on the ground - Florida being the odd one out


                                              This picture (below) was taken on the East Coast




                                                   This was also taken on the East Coast (below)




     I just read a news report and it said that we had snow in 49 states last year and in 1997. So, just something to think about before you jump to conclusions. I know the first thought that jumped into my head was ICE AGE!! But...we can't do that. So instead of jumping to conclusions, we just have to accept the weather for what it is and cope with it.

    Last year we had snow on the ground in all 50 states. There was even enough snow to make a snowball in Hilton Head... one of the nurses made one and woke Mamie up to give it to her. :)

    That's so sweet! I really don't know what's happening with the earth...it could be normal, it could not. Just something to think about.
