When we think about the future of our nation, we picture a utopia. A place where everyone has equal opportunity, where there is no discrimination, where crime is not an issue, where there is no corruption in our government, and where we do not have to worry about what our status with other countries is.

Stephenson describes a nation in which the citizens take matters into their own hands because the entire judicial system no longer exists, where businesses and money mean more than values and life, and where there are
Resisting this are a number of components that are thought to interact with each other: the friction between the avalanche and the surface beneath; friction between the air and snow within the fluid; fluid-dynamic drag at the leading edge of the avalanche; shear resistance between the avalanche and the air through which it is passing, and shear resistance between the fragments within the avalanche itself. An avalanche will continue to accelerate until the resistance exceeds the forward force. Modeling Attempts to model avalanche behaviour date from the early 20th century, notably the work of Professor Lagotala in preparation for the 1924 Winter Olympics in Chamonix. His method was developed by A. Voellmy and popularised following the publication

When the wind begins to nip at your face, when the sky becomes a light grey, when all life seems to be hidden away, one knows that there is a high chance of snow.
