Hello people if you are reading thins you are lucky!!

The Science
=== Heavy snow and strong winds will produce a blinding snow near 0 visibility, deep drafts and life-threatening wind chill.The difference between a Blizzard and a snow storm is the strength of the wind. To be a blizzard, a snow must have winds in excess of 35 miles per hour and it should reduce the visibility to 1/4th of a mile and must last for a prolonged period of 3 hours or more. Ground Blizzards require high winds to stirrup snow that has already fallen,rather than fresh snowfall. ===

Safety
=== If you are caught in a storm or blizzard and your car becomes stuck, it is important to stay in the car in the car and await rescue. Only leave the car and walk for help if you can see a definite safe-haven-like a house or a school- within a resonable distance. When you are waiting in your car, turn on the engine for brief periods to provide heat, beu always leave down-wind window open slightly to avoid deadly carbon monoxide poisoning. Also, make sure that the exhaust pipe is clear of snow. Leave the dome light on at night to signal rescuers, and exercise occasionally by clapping hands or moving around. ===
