Not Spring Quiet Yet

       Although technically it was pronounced Spring just a couple of days ago, the weather does not seem to agree. About a foot of snow was dumped into part of New England on the first day of spring. Just the other day, 500 flights were cancelled throughout the US of course the main reason being snow storms. Its strange to think that all of this bad weather is still occurring when on St. Patricks day last year, it was about 70 degrees outside! I guess the global warming affect is no longer taking action. While there are people who argue that climate change doesn't exist, all they need to do is take a look at the severe weather that affects our country in more extreme ways every day.
    Not only is this weather an inconvenience to citizens of America because it is cold, it is also preventing sports teams from practicing outside and taxing the people because of the need for more plowing. For example, my teammates and I have been practicing lacrosse indoors for many weeks now. This is giving us a huge disadvantage especially because our first game over Spring break, not to mention our first game earlier this week was cancelled due to weather. The only thing we can do about this issue is pray for better weather sooner.
