Ah, no. People don't go to hospitals seasonally. You really think people say hey it's fall, let's go to the ER? Please. What you need to look at are the ICU capacity numbers. Places like Texas, not good. You got a heart attack or something there, you're pretty much on your own. Beds taken up by Covid patients. Hey, but the economy.

Can't complain over this way... snowed all day yesterday but didn't accumulate on bare pavement until last night, I cleared maybe 4 inches off the driveway this morning and that's not counting what added up on the existing snow from the all day light to occasionally moderate stuff. Not bad for a storm where the good stuff was way off to the east.

It is logarithmic from one class to the next, linear within the class.

When I was a kid we went up to the Gaspe Peninsula and being on the south shore of the St Lawrence watching that wall of dark come down the river is in the top half dozen or so coolest things I have ever seen. Imagine seven people in a Pontiac station wagon driven by my 18 year old brother with seven heads stuck out the windows alternately all looking at the sky trying to find a hole in the clouds and our unsynchronized watches until we as one yelled "STOP NOW", screeched to a halt and jumped out of the car maybe five minutes in front of it. Also the silence as all the birds stopped singing.
