Looking forward to it. Not a bad day to be home sick. Better than spending the day downtown watching the wet roads and sidewalks. See you on Sunday.

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well. A nice walk in the heavy snow later should cure you :)

I'd like to change my snowfall contest jackpot location please. I had Fauqier (sp?) county, but with this morning's snow, I'd like to move it into Maryland. Going to be somewhere that had a couple-few inches this morning and then gets the superband this evening...and that somewhere is going to be over 1' on the day I expect.
