The second one. The first one joins the two clauses using the word "because."

Marta and Brent carried in a cord of firewood it was supposed to snow for four days.
The second sentence.
There should be a period seperating the two clauses, Marta and Brent carried in a cord of firewood and it was supposed to snow for four days.
Hope this helps.
