Yes, recorded is 11 foot of total snowfall in the Great Lakes region in the USA. Temperatures have not exctly fallen to record lows this week, but storms have ravaged the northeast with no relent for weeks at a time. 25 deaths were blamed for the last storms earlier this month, and 5 deaths so far recorded for this one.
I'd hate to say it, but this should be a wakeup call to anyone who still thinks it's going to get better up in the northeast. El Nino is blamed for this active winter season, and this cycle normally lasts over 2 consecutive years, although it looks more like La Nina. I know that my relatives have most moved down to Florida because it was almost un-bearable for a middle or low-class family to stay warm and active during the winter season.

And yes, the southeast has taken its own toll of weather catastrophes, such as the recent tornados which killed 20 people. But the tradeoff is that this week some of us in Florida are still wearing shorts and sandals, while at 1000 miles north, schools are closing because the snow makes it impossible for transportation.
THEY DONT CALL THE SOUTH THE SUNBELT FOR NO REASON!

I'm a little lost as to what to actually comment on. My grade depends on it, so all I can say is- where is your media blog? I really saw little to note on the blog that was related to the media. Yes its an article about the weather, but so what? It snows up north and storms hit the south. Nature sucks for them, and for us. I am very grateful to live where it doesn't snow, I just couldn't handle that.
The article itself was nothing spectacular. Also, you may consider making the link to the article a bit more clear, or at least post it on top. I thought the link to wikipedia was the article at first.
I agree with you, they can have it all up North. Living in Florida has to probably be the best in the sense that we don't have to deal with all of those crazy snow storms. Even though we do have our fair share of hurricanes and tornadoes, i really don't think that it is half as bad as what they are going through. Being able to wear sandals pretty much the entire year, well that really is a perk to living in the "sunshine state." It's crazy to see the damages that mother nature will throw at us.
