This Tuesday, we can expect clear, sunny skies and a high of 66 degrees. A little odd for November, perhaps, but I’m not complaining. Wednesday’s prediction drops down from Tuesday’s to a chillier 46 degrees with scattered clouds. Sounds more like Rochester weather to me – definitely more expected. Thursday, we will have a predicted high of 38 degrees with snow and rain mixed in – wait, snow? Snow? In the same week as 66 degrees? Thursday, are you drunk? Thursday, it’s time to go home. And then, wait, more snow on Friday? Are you joking? I really don’t know how we’re supposed to dress for this weather. Ugh, and don’t even get me started on those days where it’s kinda warm-ish in the morning so you don’t take your heavy jacket, but then it’s unbelievably cold all of a sudden an hour after you leave your dorm room and you really wish you’d taken that damn heavy jacket. Should I get a hot Starbucks drink or a cold one? Long-sleeve or short-sleeve T? Oh, it’s also supposed to rain fire and sulfur on Saturday, so just in case you were looking forward to going out this weekend – sorry! Everything will probably be smashed to smithereens because of this hella crazy Rochester weather. Don’t bother reading next week’s weather report. You’re screwed no matter what.

Most of these pills, however, would remain untouched, left over in the patient’s medical cabinet or kitchen pantries for potential misuse. A team of researchers led by URMC’s Dr. Jacob Moalem set out to reduce these opioid overprescriptions. Read More
