Comments and Quotes

I could use a little snow! If its going to be this cold out it could at least be pretty! - Anna Method - 23

We have had ice / snow/ slush and expect more snow. The way the roads are dealt with around here is to wait for it to melt. Not going to happen before tomorrow. Messy roads just refreeze and get even worse after a storm until completely melted and dry. This happens so seldom here that it is not worth the investment to have enough machines to handle secondary roads .... we just shut down. - Doreen Lawrence - 5

The abnormal pattern of increase in temperatures down the Peruvian and Ecuadorian coast is called El Nino. It is part of a bigger change in wind and weather all over the world. El Nino and La Nina are essentially the same phenomenon. When unusually cool temperatures in the ocean occur on the equator between South America and the Date Line, La Nina exists. This happens around Christmas time. El Nino is noticed along the South American coast, in the open Pacific Ocean, near the Galapagos, and near the Date Line 4 months after La Nina. The most significant cause of damage during El Nino is a result of the violent storms it brings and the upsets in global food chain that it puts into effect. The significant damage from La Ni?a is the increase Atlantic hurricane activity that it causes. - Michelle Rooks - 235
