I'm not quite sure. I do see a lot of animal tracks on the snow. The smart ones figure it out I suppose. Maybe they migrate to lower elevation.

The start of an extra long Easter week-end. We told the staff to stay home and off the roads. I took a bunch of files home yesterday to review and might to a couple of house calls tomorrow to the most vulnerable if the roads are clear. I picked the wrong week to install my Summer Performance tires...

I *think* the snow is done here; now we've got plenty of rain. The nearby tulip festival is delayed a couple of weeks, and even then walking among the tulips may bring mud up to your knees.

No likey.
I hear you. I do my best to ignore the coming months with 85F+ and high-humidity.

Right now it's high-40s, breezy, raw, and with a thick overcast here. I just told the wife "In a few months, we'll be dreaming of weather like this."

Still cloudy but the system moved offshore quickly and the roads cleared which allowed me to go back to the clinic, get my gear and do some house calls. Now I'm free for the rest of the week-end. Happy Easter! Name:  Bunny.jpg

Don't bother pressing play, it's just a screenshot.

Montreal got it pretty bad with the ice storm yesterday. Power, internet, etc. still out. Good day to not park on the streets.

House calls?! In 2023? Good for you! I thought house calls were only found in museums...

I live in a rural area where many of our female patients have no vehicles or too advanced in age to drive. We also have a bonded taxi service to bring them to the clinic and also pick-up and deliver prescriptions.

It's a service that our clinic provides free of charge. We get no assistance from the Government.

I don't want to hijack the weather thread with a rant about our current crummy Health System...

Looking forward to a nice week.
