Take Your Animals To Ohio State...

If you have a serious issue with your pet or other animal and

• it can wait
• you are close enough
• it's a covered species

please consider taking your animal to Ohio State University's (OSU's) Veterinary Medical Center or a satellite office. See https://vmc.vet.osu.edu/ for more info on locations for companion animals, horses, and farm animals.

I am much closer to Michigan State University (MSU), but my experiences there over the years finally reached the point where I can no longer trust them.

My experiences at OSU were FAR superior in information from them, their listening to me, their responsiveness to calls and email (often ~1 hr turnaround on the latter), their clarity of vision with respect to why a given course of treatment would be followed, availability both pre- and post-surgery, and even in pricing.

I have to recommend NOT using MSU for being on the other side of these issues.

@SomeMichGuy Well, it is a BIT warmer here.

@Colormegone Indeed it is. It's surprising how important a shortish drive can be in terms of the experience of local climate/weather through the year.

@SomeMichGuy Just north and south of Ohio!
All that lake effect snow you guys get!

@Colormegone In SE Mich, we don't tend to get that.

But Grand Rapids is nicely located within the standard swath of that sort of weather.

The normal strip for the Lake Michigan "lake effect" snow seems to be ~1/3 the width of the "Lower Peninsula" (at about Grand Rapids).

In larger storms, it might go through half of the "LP", i.e., to US 127, which goes up the middle of the LP through the Jackson area & Lansing up to the Mackinac Bridge.

For huge storms, we get show here, too, but I think that's more base storm than added lake effect by the time you are near Ann Arbor.

But this is why the S/SE/E side of Lake Eerie gets big snows, too, and similarly for the other lakes--Lake Ontario affecting New York, Lake Huron affecting Michigan's "thumb" and Ontario, Lake Superior affecting Michigan's "Upper Peninsula" and Ontario.
