My brother tells me that the warm and dry spell "up Nort" has finally ended. It's been 40s and hard rain up there since Friday.

Since cool and rain has taken over for the last 48-hours, I'm hoping that the local population of ruffed grouse have successfully clutched-out this Sping's brood already, and that those chicks are now old-enough (& large-enough) to avoid the hypothermia that usually kills them after such an event.

Fingers crossed here.

Maybe this rain event has helped with all of those wildfires in Canada? It had been bad (very smoky) up there most of last week.
