In late January 1978, the Blizzard of 1978 slammed Cortland, New York with relentless snowfall, fierce winds, and subzero temperatures. Roads vanished under massive drifts, businesses closed, and residents were effectively cut off as the region declared a state of emergency.

For days, Cortland relied on snowmobiles, volunteers, and National Guard assistance to deliver supplies and rescue stranded residents. The storm became a defining local memory, remembered for its severity, community resilience, and the way it reshaped emergency preparedness across upstate New York.

Diamonds are rare on Earth. But wood is one of the rarest materials in the known universe.

Diamonds may seem rare and precious on Earth, but in the grand scale of the universe, they’re surprisingly common.

Formed under immense pressure in environments like gas giants and carbon-rich stars, diamonds are the product of simple chemistry and extreme pressure — not life. Their formation doesn't require biological processes, making them more common than many materials.

Wood, on the other hand, is rare in the universe. At least, as far as we are aware.

It is the byproduct of complex life, needing photosynthesis, oxygen, and water — conditions found only on life-bearing planets like Earth.
