What's the temperature where you are???

[AdaliaStark]

38° right now, it feels like 33° with a dew point of 37° and 97% humidity. Going to be mostly cloudy with a slight chance for rain showers and a high of 44°.

Got home at 6am from my overnight shift, usually pretty uneventful but not this morning!

While I was finishing up some work, I got a panicked call from one of my managers, they were working in outside garden and had found 2 grey tabby kittens(very tiny but dry with umbilical cords still attached so most likely really recently born) in an opened box of grass seed up in our top-stock space off the ground. I finish the thing that I was working on and hurry over there to try and help them, they had grabbed a small dog bed and small blanket off the shelf to put the kittens in.

I recommended that they do so, at least get them off the grass seed, which they did while removing at much of the grass seed from the kittens as they could. We then heard another kitten after one of them left to go let in a few of the morning staff. So we scramble to find out where they are, locate the 3rd kitten and its deceased sibling in the next aisle over also in top-stock; brought them down putting the living sibling in the bed with the other two and putting the deceased one off to the side to figure out what do once we knew these 3 were in a warm spot in the store while the outside garden center got cleaned up. We think maybe the mom got scared by all the power equipment and noisy music that was playing and that was why we couldn't find her.

So my managers put her babies along with the bed and blanket into a opened cardboard box, put it back where they had been found and waited till they left at 6:30 to see if she would come back for them. She didn't so now they're now trying a nearby shelter or vet who will take them.

Basically one of my managers just texted me to let know that he tried calling a number they had found for a nearby shelter that has someone who specializes in these tiny kittens.

However it went straight to voicemail, probably called during their off hours but he was told of a few other places to try by some other morning staff, so he will be trying those places in an hour and will keep me updated.

This is a super eventful end of my shift and it is the 2nd time that we have found a cat in the store! As the first time one of my managers got a kitten to take home once she was caught. But these little kittens need special care that we can't give them so my managers are trying to find someone who can as none of us could forgive ourselves if anything happened to them.

I can/will give an update during my evening weather post if anyone wants it! Also I realized that I forgot to include the picture that I took!

I remember a distant acquaintance of mine was messing around with a similar kitten that she found somewhere. She bought some kind of "milk" mixture for newborn kittens in a pet store, and gave it to him through a medical syringe (without a needle), gradually injecting it into his mouth. True, this procedure is frequent, according to rumors, a kitten needs to be fed like this every two hours.
True, I don't remember how much to give per feeding. You need to look it up on the Internet.
In principle, such cats are good because when they grow up, they actively catch or drive mice or even rats out of the premises.

101°, 2% humidity, third ice run, 2:00 P.M.

June weather in April.

 

[Ponypoor]

-8 С (17,6 F)
And a lot of snow. In general, in the first days of April there was no snow here at all, it all melted and even the first flowers began to bloom (usually this plant is called coltsfoot, small yellow flowers, and the young leaves of this plant are sometimes used here to brew tea, which helps with coughs), but then some frost of -8 C began and snow fell heavily. So much so that I need some time to dig out the driveways, and tractors and graders, which are usually used in winter, are driving to clean the roads.

Drivers found themselves in a strange situation. At first, many of them, tired of screeching on the asphalt with studded tires, ruining it (in addition, studded tires on dry asphalt brake worse than simple rubber ones used in the summer), decided to change the wheels to summer ones. And they did.My father decided not to change for now, and so he drove on dry asphalt on studded tires, because the traffic police do not yet impose fines for studded tires (our "winter" has not yet officially ended). In addition, we rarely go anywhere further than the nearest grocery store.And then suddenly a lot of snow fell and frost began. In this situation, studded tires became very appropriate. And those drivers who had previously rushed and put on summer tires without metal studs found themselves in a very difficult and even dangerous situation. In Moscow, one of the drivers, driving in the snow on summer tires, lost control, flew onto the sidewalk and went down the stairs into the underground passage of the metro (!!!).

Fortunately, there were no random passers-by there on this stair at the time, and the driver and passenger remained alive, although they were taken to hospital with bruises.

In order to pull out the remains of the car, it had to be sawed into pieces, because it was absolutely impossible to drag it back up the stairs in one piece.
In general, according to eyewitnesses, this could only be seen in some movie - first, a car crashes down the stairs into the subway, then the remains of the door of the car, completely wrecked, open with a screech and the driver gets out. But the passenger had to be pulled out by the Ministry of Emergency Situations workers (but he also did not die).

In general, drivers began to change the wheels back to winter ones.

Otherwise, the weather is good and it looks like this

Wow! I am not going to complain about our miserable weather here - we had some snow but nothing like this!

Sure hope for both of us the weather improves soon.
