The catchy tune came thereafter, followed by a cartoon short

further propelled Rudolph to celebrity and became the most
recognizable Rudolph adaption.

Today, Rudolph is known across the globe as the reindeer

951 Main Street, Grafton, OH 44044 Medical Mishaps

(440) 791-7177 or Toll Free (888) 673-1536 The holiday season might not be the most hazardous time
of the year, but there is an uptick in safety concerns during this
www.alwaysbestcaregreatercleveland.com season of festivity and fun.

Components of the holiday season such as decorating, shop-
ping, celebrating, and traveling, carry some risk. The National
Fire Protection Association says 30 percent of all home fires
occur during the months of December, January and Febru-
ary. Christmas trees and decorative holiday lighting displays
contribute to the uptick in fires and other accidents between
Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. But fire is not the only con-
cern during the holiday season. Revelers who celebrate a bit
too much can pose a threat, as can road weary travelers or
overnight guests who unknowingly put loved ones in harm’s
way during their stays.

Thankfully, many accidents that occur during the holiday sea-
son are avoidable if holiday celebrants focus on safe ways to
celebrate.

· Choking: All of that entertaining and partying means more
food is consumed. To keep up with the hustle and bustle of the
season, many people must eat on the go. The National Safety
Council says nearly 3,000 people in the United States die each
year from choking. Taking small bites and chewing completely,

Even though snow is more common in northern elevations
and cold regions, snowfall is not exclusive to frigid climates.
In the United States, snow has fallen in cities most often as-
sociated with sun and warmth, such as San Diego, Miami and
Hawaii. The southern Italy town of Capracotta received 100
inches of snow in 18 hours on March 5, 2015. In spite of its
location, Capracotta has been known to receive enormous
one-day snowfalls.

While snow can fall even in warm climates, the world record
holder for the most snow belongs to a northern area. Mt. Baker
ski resort in Washington state experienced 1,140 inches in the
1998/1999 winter season.

Snow can fall at temperatures well above freezing. Accord-
ing to ScienceBits.com, snow can still fall at temperatures as
warm as 46 F. For snow to fall when temperatures are warm,
humidity has to be very low.

Even though there’s a common perception that no two
snowflakes are alike, this isn’t completely accurate. A scientist
at the National Center for Atmospheric Research found two
identical snow crystals in 1988. Also, similar results have been
produced in laboratories.

Snow is an interesting form of precipitation. It can be scarce
or plentiful, form in the north or the south, and may feature tiny
snowflakes or extremely large ones. Snow also may take on
the color of its surrounding environment.
