Snowstorm by Natalia Holvova

Winter can be the most beautiful season in a year. Your nose is all red and you are wearing almost five different jackets still shaking of cold with gloves on your hands where you hold a plastic cap of warm vine. Christmas is coming soon and you can feel in the air that something special is going on. However, winter can also be a nightmare you have got all of sudden in the middle of the night. Snow and ice can be very cruel and freeze all your body to the frozen piece of ice. Dying in the frozen air must be one of the worse. The damage that can winter cause on people is not the only one. There is a huge power of snow, wind and rain at the same time. Snowstorms are dangerous and unexpected. Snow is falling down on the streets and in few hours we can be cut off the electricity, water can get frozen and we do not have a hiding place. Our car can get stacked and we loose all the ways to survive. If there is snow all around our house and everywhere else, it is really hard to find the way out. Snow departments need to get us ready, announce any danger of snowstorms appearance and evacuate those parts of the city that are needed. They need to do it in advance of course. There are measures we can deal with unpredicted situation, but still we need more experience, humbleness and responsibility. Just like the rescue workers in Washington State where the snowstorm caused fairy big troubles in traffic and housing situation on Monday.
