The Leprechaun Gold

St. Vincent-St. Mary High School * Volume XLIII * Issue 5 * February 2014

A WINTER TO REMEMBER

Everyone at STVM felt the effects of the winter storms at the end of Christmas break when the U.S. was hit with the coldest air in nearly two decades. More than 3,700 flights, about one out of 10, were cancelled. Almost every state was affected by this storm. Monday, January 6, was the scheduled first day of school after Christmas break, but harsh windchills and freezing tempera- tures said otherwise. The temperature was 45 degrees Monday and by 11:59 p.m., it had dropped to 10 degrees below zero. Many people worried about the homeless and across the U.S., shelters expanded hours in many locations and provided cots, blankets, food, and a warm place to stay for those less fortunate. Local schools were closed for two days after Christmas break. Then on January 27 the schools closed and didn’t reopen until January 30. The windchill was as low as 45 degrees below zero and became dangerous for anyone to be outside.
