Record Setting Snow

According to an article from CNN.com created on January 4, 2014, this past week's storm was one of the worst snow storms that the nation has seen in a very long time. The blistering temperatures are reaching new locations, reaching more southern destinations than ever. One of their more eye opening facts states that close to half of America will encounter temperatures reaching below zero. Around ten deaths have been reported, mostly due to the dangerous road conditions created by the snow and ice. Other victims suffered from hypothermia. An analogy is created when the author states how at Lambeau field, conditions will be the coldest in history. Personification is utilized when the author describes the snow as "blanketing" the nation.
