Snow & Cold Weather

            
            
             My essay will focus on the topic of snow and the cold weather that happen during our Minnesota winters and how that affects us in our everyday life.
             I will begin with the water freezing which happens often in this area when the water freezes you can't take showers, do the dishes, flush the toilet, or even cook and it can also be very costly to have repaired. Also many car accidents occur during the winter months due to the sloppy and icy road conditions caused by freezing rain and snow which can give you very little control while you are driving a few of these accidents result in death or serious injury.
             Another factor in cold weather is depression it can very easily happen to anyone when it gets so cold outside that you don't want to leave your house. And it is often very dark or gloomy outside and that can also make you feel down and out and depressed.
             When you get a big snow eventually you have to shovel. Last winter sixty people in New York alone had heart attacks and died from shoveling. People need to know when to stop and take a break to prevent this from happing. Sickness is yet another factor you find with the cold weather the flue and pneumonia are some of the most common illnesses we see during these months they both can be fatal. .
             The last factor I will discuss although there are many more is hypothermia which is caused by being exposed to the cold for a long period of time and your bodies core temperature drops at a rapid rate. It can happen if you happen to get lost in the woods, get stuck in the ditch for a period of time, and camping in the winter months although there are many other instances for with this could happen.
             I will close by saying that the winter months in Minnesota can be harsh and grueling to many people. I believe people need to know their atmosphere and how to protect themselves and keep themselves safe during the cold weather and snow.
