This week has been filled with snow, the madness of March, the coming of spring, and also a new iPhone.

Storm Stella

Storm Stella was a massive winter weather system that affected most of the North East in early March. The storm system brought over 10 inches of snow in some areas along with some sleet and high winds. Several flights were cancelled, and schools shut their doors, expecting the worst. After the snow had fallen and settled onto the ground, high winds caused the snow to drift back onto the roads that plows were already having trouble keeping the roads clear and not icy. Several businesses also closed for the winter storm allowing most people to stay home and also have their risk lowered of getting into an accident on the icy roads.

March Madness

College basketball fans are hyped up about March Madness. Several people have already started to make up their brackets for their predictions of what teams will be heading to this year’s finals. Other people have made their own spin off of March Madness. Teams are now down to what is called the Sweet 16. These are the last 16 teams within the bracket and contain schools such as Michigan, Purdue, West Virginia, and many more. Games will continue throughout the week. The L. A. Kings have created Bark Madness, a spin off of March Madness, where they allow their fans to vote which player and dog combo gets to move on to the next round. To check out Bark Madness, click here.
