Light flurries and drizzle, mixed. Total crap.

Bring on the white stuff.

In the snow mood Bill. When it gets knee deep, I retire to the kitchen to
cook and clean, and quaff several frosties. Also listen to Beethoven, Bach,
and other classics.

Strange, I know. Must have been those years my wife and I would get snowed
in, and had nothing else to do but cook and clean, and make babies.

Marlboro, NY, 60 miles north of NYC on the Hudson. Forecast called
for 6-12 inches, spent hours past few days looking to buy snow chains
so I could make my schedule of Santa deliveries to local nursing homes
today, Sunday.

Nobody sells snow chains anymore, but..... NO SNOW! There is perhaps
3/8 of an inch if that.

I'll take it.

I did Hank's modification on that RCA and I musta screwed up or
something. Volume was loud and distorted with the bias cell jumpered,
then not as loud but still distorted after the mod. I wanted to see
if I could align it before asking for more help, its definitely a
little off. Just recapped my signal gen so I'll find out shortly.

I would estimate 16-18 inches in Freehold NJ.

This is odd as we in the Chicago area usually get pounded first, and
you folks on the East Coast get the axx end or just a few inches of
stuff that doesn't even stay around. Wow. Keep warm, and good luck
digging out.

I case you get stuck, you could always use the "CORRIGATED CARDBOARD BOX"

So far, about 6" overnight. Another 6 to 8 coming today and tonight.
This isn't even a challenge for us here in Minnesota.

C'mon bring it on!

People are incredibly stupid.

I drove over to Eastland (6 miles up I-20) to buy
food at Wal-Mart. At least 5 vehicles sideways on
the median or shoulder. And ONE a**hole that came
across the median heading towards me before he went
off into the ditch to my right.

Sigh...Back home where it's warm and toasty.

I warned you about I20 a long time ago ;>) The west end sees snow so
seldom that when it does - one is far better off watching from afar...

Welcome to the south, y'all!

Oh, that's easy -in the South - it doesn't snow that often - and when
a driver does screwup and hit you - at least they say " Excuse me -
I'm really sorry. My insurance will take care of it. In the mean time
- here - have a brew."

In LA they scream "FU" and claim it was YOUR fault! (and it's usually
in something other than English, at that!).

They closed I-40 in AZ Tuesday for about 3" of snow and stupid
drivers.

Los Angeles. Same stupid drivers, sames stupid accidents.
