Why people live along blizzard proaned area

People live along the atlantic coast because its near the beaches and the major cities. People wanted to be close to modernized area with have more jobs available to find.

Blizzard in the LEDC's

Blizzard in the LEDC's are found along the mountain range which have cold temperatures with snow. These areas won't be affected as much as the MEDC's since there's not much for the blizzard to destroy in its sight.

Blizzard in MEDC’s

Blizzards found in MEDC such as along the Northeastern quadrant of United States (New York, Washington D.C. etc.) are near the coastline. When it gets cold in winter, the blizzard gets its moist from the Atlantic coast which makes places such as New York at high risk of having a blizzard. When a blizzard occurs around this area, it will be affected in a great proportion since there are many civilians in the cities and buildings in that area.

Areas where Blizzards occur

• May occur in any location that have snow



• High risk at mountain range area
  


• Common around the Northeastern of USA



• Atlantic Canada



• Canadian prairie provinces

(the areas in the shade of blue shown in the map are at high risk of having Blizzard)

Effects from a Blizzard

• whiteout (risk to the aviation community)
• Sudden blizzard cause terrible damage such as burried cars, trucks and area covered by thick snow
• deaths by being burried in snow
• damaged powerlines
