An insane amount of motor vehicle accident patient's in the ER today. Even more insane, not one of them has been alcohol/substance use related (knock on wood). People really don't understand how to drive on snow...despite it snowing every year.

I swear, people forget each summer how to drive in the snow.

Heavy wet snow...with leaves and locust tree dendrites in it.....efficiently clogs the snowblower regularly.

4 inches on the driveway when I started 1/2 inch on the driveway when I was done...then if got heavier.....expected 7 to 10 inches at this time.

That was last Tuesday here, a squall a dusting and everyone went nuts. 75 accidents in my area alone.

Must have been day time. There's no way that would happen on night shift.

Yeah...that is not shun worthy....it is calling you a sissy worthy though :D

Well, I didn't zip it up...

My shift was from 2-12, but all the accidents occurred between 5 and 7. Right during rush hour(s)

Yeah, that's day shift. That time of day, people are generally sober and either going home or to someplace where they will alleviate their sobriety.
Statistically, alcohol or other drugs are involved in 50% of all crashes. But that's somewhat misleading. After about 10PM, it's more like 80%, with a corresponding dip during the day.

Yup. I dont work overnight, but most of the alcohol-related accidents show up on our board between midnight and 8. Luckily, snow was gone by around 8pm yesterday, so no need to worry about that

So there is going to be a cheeky training session before fight night,

But more importantly it means we will have Rob Gruiffrida, Kyle Noke, Ben Keleher and Ian bone. All in one place.

Sorry to hear that, brother. I'm glad you got the distraction you needed. Sometimes, that's the best medicine life can offer.
