April Fool's-Project Three

On The 1st...we discussed "La Nina"(a cold water current in the Pacific Ocean) and the split jet stream. These two factors have been affecting the U.S.'s weather patterns for some time now. The forcast for April Fool's Day called for mild temperatures near 60 degrees for the day. Early that morning the temperature was around 60 degrees and, from there, dropped to near freezing temperatures. Lanslides fall into this scenerio because if the weather suddenly went from freezing to mild temeratures when snow was on the ground, the rapid melting would surely cause a horrible landslide.
