The blizzard in Newfoundland doesn't take any mercy on this woman who forgot to roll her window all the way up! Epic fail!

Snowstorms can be good or bad depending on the intensity of the storms and how prepared and accustomed people are. The truth is that snow sometimes causes some problems, since it usually goes through the open windows of houses, buildings and cars when people forget to close the windows. Always remember that snow always goes in the direction of the wind, so leaving the car windows open is crazy, since the car will be completely full of snow, just like this woman's car. In Newfoundland the snowstorms are quite strong, and this woman forgot to close the window when she got out of the car, so the snow took advantage to enter through her window. This woman had a big surprise when she tried to return to her car, since it was completely full of snow. From now on nobody forget to close the windows of the car!

Humans remain continuously affected by the characteristics of the environment in which we find ourselves, so that when it is cold we warm, when it rains we protect ourselves from raindrops under an umbrella and when it is hot we use lighter clothes and sunscreen. The difference between some weather conditions and others depends on several factors, the area of the planet in which we are located, its altitude, latitude, the presence of relief and the season or time of the year. We generally deal with these changes through heating or air conditioning systems and adapting our clothing to the situation. However, extreme temperature conditions or rainfall can lead to problems in our health and cause difficulties for our survival.

For a snowstorm to occur, it is necessary to match a mass of cold, dry, low pressure air along with a mass of warm and humid air at high pressure, so that both interact with each other. On the one hand, thermal contrast causes upward and downward movements between air masses, causing some instability in the atmosphere and causing strong winds and precipitation. On the other hand, in the case of snowstorms, precipitation occurs in the form of snowflakes because the water vapor contained in the hot layer cools very quickly turning directly into ice, without first going through a liquid state.

Snowstorms usually occur in high mountain areas at a temperature below 0 degrees during winter, although occasionally they can occur in other seasons. Some countries where snowfall occurs frequently are Canada, the United States, Greenland, Norway, Russia, Greenland, Sweden, Norway and many other countries located in the northern hemisphere of the planet.

Depending on their duration and intensity they can cause different effects. While some storms barely last for a few hours, others can last for days causing considerable negative effects for the human being, such as health problems (hypothermia and diseases), or damage to the environment, such as the deterioration of basic services (laying of electric current or natural gas installations) and the reduction of visibility conditions, the danger of which occurs mainly on roads, resulting in traffic accidents.
