The bacteria that cause Tuberculosis are nasty little beasts. The white blood cells that clear infection in your body work by ingesting bacteria and then breaking them up, and the TB escapes this by letting itself get ingested and then sitting inside your white blood cells.
When a snow storm produces large amounts of snow it may take several days to complete all sidewalk and trail snow removal since crews prioritize streets and heavily accessed sidewalks first. On average, the City of Burnsville receives 48 inches of snow per year, resulting in crews plowing anywhere from 15-25 times each winter, depending on snowfall amounts. There are 18 full plow routes maintained with equally as many pieces of heavy equipment, including but not limited to:
A storm that brings several inches to the city may not seem like a big deal for people across the northern U.S., but Atlanta, as well as other cities across the South, is not equipped to handle much snow. Last winter, a major storm system delivered 4 to 5 inches of snow to Atlanta, bringing the city to a virtual standstill. That storm forced the city to increase its snow removal operation from 10 to more than 115 pieces of equipment, according to the AJC. The odds of another snowstorm like this affecting Atlanta this year are small. Chances of Atlanta having another white Christmas are close to zero. Last year, 1.2 inches of snow fell on Christmas Day in Atlanta, making it the first time in 128 years that measurable snow whitened the city on Dec. 25.
