There’s gonna be 0 to 500 inches of snow this wknd. It will be cold. Not hot, but cold. And windy. Probably, but maybe not. The winter weather advisory will start as soon as Giant Eagle runs out of milk 🥶 P.S. We have plows. Like really, really big ones, so don’t worry about us 😉

Oxygen is the best and only treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning. Researchers are trying to develop ways to kick the gas off red blood cells more quickly.  sciencenews.org/article/carb…

A bioengineered protein may someday treat carbon monoxide poisoning

Mice treated with the protein, which is found in bacteria, quickly eliminated carbon monoxide from their body in their pee.
