“Snowmageddon” and the removal of what it left behind

The snowmageddon did not only make an appearance in Oklahoma but it also visited the big city of Idianapolis, Indiana. Indianapolis spent nearly half it's yearly budget towards removing snow, 3.4 million to be exact, just in one week. More than an inch of ice and almost 4 inches of snow were left behind by the snowmageddon. Altogether the city spent $5.4 million on snow removal so far which is 75% of of the $7.3 million saved for this years snow removal, not counting the 19,000 hours spent by city workers eight days straight. When reading the newspaper article on this snowstorm one begins to feel overwhelmed and stressed. In fear that another snow storm might hit and there not being enough money to pay for it's removal. They use pathos in this article by using persuasive text and dramatic wording such as "fighting these winter storms" and "nearly". Indianapolis is showing great concern for the long working hours spent to make sure roads and highways are clear and how much money is needed to get the tools to use to be able to perform these tasks. Indianapolis is probably also worried about there being more snow storms throughout the months of February and March. This could mean completely running out of money to remove ice and snow off the roads to make them safer for people to drive on. This money problem would also effect being able to work long hours pulling people out of the snow who got stuck.
