April 2014

[edit]

This is an original article for a class, HNRS 1035 at LSU. The purpose of this article is to not only detail on the history of colder weather patterns in Louisiana, but also snow's impact as an unusual abiotic natural disturbance in the typically temperate zone and its role in the larger context of anthropogenic climate change, known more commonly as global warming. Especially in the light of the recent Winter Storm Leon, this topic is particularly relevant and recent and remains lacking in overarching informational stores concerning snow patterns in the state. Due to the scarcity of the cold and snowy weather in Louisiana, many citizens of the region are often unprepared to handle what may be considered a storm of little consequence in more northern states. This topic necessitates the creation of a new Wikipedia page so that information on winter storms in Louisiana can be elaborated upon with the focus of the effect on Louisiana’s ecosystems and people.

A phrase that isn't right

[edit]

"rained in" as used can't be right. Not sure what you intended, so I didn't change it. 7&6=thirteen () 16:53, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Christmas Day 2004 Snowfall in SE Louisiana

[edit]

I was in Chalmette, in St Bernard Parish Louisiana, on Christmas Day 2004. We woke up to rain that morning. I remember saying to my fiancée, “I wish this rain would turn to snow!” As I finished getting ready to go to my mom’s house, he said, “Hey baby, come see!” I walked outside and the rain had begun to turn to snow. It snowed all morning to dinner time, and the whole neighborhood forgot about presents and were out in the streets talking to neighbors, building snowmen, and making snow angels. My fiancée Eddie remarked, “This is beautiful, but something ain’t right. I feel like Mother Nature is about to mess everything up. I believe the Indonesian tsunami occurred the next day, and the summer brought us the most destructive hurricane season in history, with hurricanes Katrina and Rita destroying the homes of everyone in my family. 2600:6C63:41F0:1F0:AD80:40BE:1894:5E08 (talk) 11:52, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
