A snowicane is a very powerful and dangerous storm that can cause destruction's.
A snowicane is just like a regular hurricane except with snow instead of rain. A hurricane is formed by warm moisture in the air which flows into a low pressure area. As the air travels higher and condenses into clouds, more warm air is pulled in from the ocean. The air then moves counter clockwise in a spiral motion. These clouds turn into clusters and thunderstorms which is called a hurricane. Basically, a snowicane is the same thing but instead of rain, there is snow. When snow is falling very hard, it picks up wind which causes a snow storm. A snowicane is a REALLY bad snow storm which can turn into something fatal.
When winds are very strong and there is already moisture in the air, the moisture tends to move along with the winds causing a strong storm. The winds for this snowicane went up to 70 mph. The movement of this snowicane all started out as just a day of snow in Texas, moving east to New Jersey. Hitting almost every state in it's path, this hurricane of snow has caused the most amount of damage any other snow storm has caused in the state of New Jersey. With all the snow coming in now, all of it will have to eventually melt which can cause a lot of water to come in. This snowicane will affect the community drastically. People will have to shovel they're sidewalks and driveways, there may be cancellations of flights and schools. You may not even be able to get out of your driveway. Plan's are cancelled because of the snow and schools are cancelled so there will be days taken out of important holiday vacations. Thanks to the snow, this is what has happened. Precipitation has come and gone, but this time it has come. Snow is still on it's way and there is still more to come for our state of New Jersey.
