Eco-Event 4: Snow Storm for the Record Books

NASA captured infrared photos of a massive storm over the United States. And though they saw it we were all victims to one of the biggest snow storms since the 1950's. This storm was so large that it covered over 30 states and left 9 states under blizzard warnings and most of the states left with over a foot of snow. New York and Philadelphia recorded a combined 93 inches of snow with New York getting 56 of those inches. NASA says that this has been one of the nastiest storms they have ever gotten to witness on the face of the earth.

You can check out the video HERE.

When I first read this article and saw the picture of the storm sweeping over more than half of our country I became a little worried. I wasn't worried about Ohio's blizzard warnings, I was focused on the whole Global Warming issue, or as nice people like to call it Climate Change. The fact that in the summer or earth is getting hotter and in the winter their becoming more freezing and colder. This can all be looked at by the amount of air pollution and fossil fuels that are roaming around our atmosphere. If things don't change soon I can only wonder when the next huge storm is going to hit and if this one could possibly cover the whole earth.
