Over the brief time I’ve been driving, I found there to be a drastic difference in driving in the winter and driving in the summer. The winter weather brings many dangerous conditions to contend with on the road that the summer does not. Cold, wet, freezing winters are much harder to drive in than the dryer summer months.…
Summer and winter can both cause dangerous conditions; however, there are opportunities to enjoy the open road in both seasons. Summer allows time for leisurely drives with high visibility, mild weather and to special destinations such as the beach. Roads that may be…

At both times they require using the signal lights properly. It may be a rainy or hot day but that doesn’t give anyone the option to not use their signal lights the right way. Also, during both seasons drives must give the same attention as usual on the road. During winter and summer both require following the speed limits as a state law, following speed limits has nothing to do whether it’s boiling outside or snowy. So as overall, driving during the summer and winter do share some similar points together although they have many differences put…

The winters in Northern Minnesota are harsh, cold, and dangerous. The average snowfall for the state falls between 30 and 38 inches per year. Within the past five years, the temperatures have been known to fluctuate greatly; from warmer temperatures during the day, to below freezing through the night. These temperature changes can cause dangerous road conditions, such as black ice, which can harmful or even deadly. Along with the weather changes, the county road commissions throughout Minnesota have been making changes as well; they have, significantly, cut back on the amount of time and effort that they spend plowing, sanding, and/or salting the roads. These cut backs may seem minor, but they are resulting in many unnecessary accidents and…
We may believe that driving an automobile is similar in every season. But we should know that winter and summer offer different pleasures and challenges. The most obvious distinctions between these seasons are the temperature, the roads conditions and the amount of daylight. Indeed, each of these variables can change the driving conditions dramatically. Nevertheless, drivers can also enjoy the road if they respect the limitation of speed limit and the effects of both seasons.…
Unlike some mammals, the white-tailed deer do not hibernate during the winter, instead they survive by shedding their summer coat and growing a heavier winter one. This winter coat consists of dense underfur and is made up of hollow hair shafts, and these adaptions provide the deer with insulation. White-tailed deer also have special skin muscles that allow them to manipulate the hair shafts on their back and provide more insulation. Additionally, in order to prepare for the winter months, deer eat more, adding extra layers of fat to their bodies. Deer can store about 25% their body weight as fat. Because the storage of energy is so important during the wintertime, deer have periods of "rest" or metabolic slowness. In this period not only does…

My idea for feature story 3 is to discuss seasonal affective disorder and how this affects the holiday season. Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, is a type of depression that's related to changes in seasons. Furthermore, I want to mention the possible stressors that can trigger these people to become sad or uninterested in the holiday season. Most people with SAD have symptoms beginning in the fall and continue into the winter months, sapping their energy and making them feel moody., but does this just happen out of nowhere or is it triggered by an event? I also want to address how this affects Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations. For many people, the holidays aren’t the most wonderful time of the year and I want to highlight ways to make the holiday blues better.…
A lot of people would rather travel by airplane. However, I prefer to travel by my car because I can save money, experience the different surroundings, and am in control of my environment.

I can travel alone or with others, and play music or not depending on my mood.…
