Snow day....fer real


Husband exclaimed, "You gotta look at our tree!" This is the very large fir tree in our backyard loaded down with snow, the branches are usually much perkier.


This is the sunnier view later on this morning.  The snow has stayed all day, gotten a bit slushy.   It really was a snow day, surgery cancelled all of their cases, so the stat H&P I typed this morning went into the chart for next time.  Also, two people called in from my department to say they weren't coming in, they both live about two to three blocks from me toward the direction of the hospital. (?)  Half the business office people stayed home but some of them drive from Coos Bay or North Bend.   There was one or two cars at the clinic, must have cancelled clinic as well. 
Oh and we had a fire alarm this morning, a heat sensor in the boiler room got a little hot and put out a smidgen of smoke.   Our Internet was off and on, I could transcribe ER reports but could not open the radiology system to put them there.  The hospital was on back up generator until afternoon.   What a weather related day in the neighborhood. The garbage truck still has not come to make pick up.
And I noted various tree branches lying by the side of the road here and there.  Ah, the sound of chainsaws in the morning!
