explanation[1]="Blizzards are severe winter storms that contain low, below-freezing temperatures, strong winds blowing over 35 miles per hour, and blowing snow that limits visibility to one-quarter of a mile (not very far!) for at least three hours. They can also produce snow, sleet, and freezing rain, making for very difficult driving conditions. If there is a blizzard occurring in your town, stay safe and warm inside unless it is absolutely necessary to go outside (like in an emergency)!"
explanation[2]=" While wind makes you feel much colder, it only affects people and animals, not objects like cars, rocks, or pipes. When it is windy, heat is carried away from a person or animal\'s body at a faster rate, meaning the body temperature drops more quickly. Wind chill temperature measures how cold humans and animals feel when they are outdoors, based on how cold the air is and how much colder the wind feels. The best way to stay safe during extremely cold weather is to limit your time outdoors and dress warmly. Wear a hat, gloves or mittens, lots of layers of warm clothing, a scarf, and a jacket. If you are outside and start to feel cold, go inside. Don\'t forget to bring pets inside, too."
explanation[3]="Different animals have different ways of adapting to winter. Some animals hibernate for the winter and do not wake up until early spring. Others, like bears, go through a process similar to hibernation, called torpor, where they slow down, sleep a lot, and eat less frequently. Some amphibians, like the wood frog, actually freeze in winter! Most of the water in its body freezes into ice, it stops breathing, and it stays frozen until it thaws out in spring. Migration occurs when an animal, insect, or bird species moves from one region to another. Many birds migrate from north to south before winter\'s cold temperatures set in. And, people are animals, too! We humans prepare for winter by wearing warmer clothes and staying inside more often where we are safe from the cold."
explanation[4]="A winter storm is one that occurs during late fall to early spring and results in one or more of the above types of precipitation. Meteorologists predict which of these will fall during the storm, to help people prepare. When water droplets fall from the clouds, they can go through many different temperatures on the way to the ground. Rain occurs when a raindrop remains liquid. Snow occurs if the droplet freezes into an ice crystal and stays frozen. Sleet occurs when the droplet freezes, but goes through warmer air just before hitting the ground. Freezing rain stays liquid as it falls, but freezes just as it hits the ground."
explanation[5]="The lowest temperature ever recorded in the continental United States was -70 degrees Fahrenheit, in Lewis and Clark County, Montana in January, 1954. This is a very mountainous and forested area, near the Continental Divide. Alaska\'s lowest temperature ever recorded was -80 degrees Fahrenheit, in the Endicott Mountains of Northern Alaska in January, 1971. Even Hawaii, a tropical island, has recorded a below-freezing (below 32 degrees Fahrenheit) temperature: 12 degrees Fahrenheit!"
