Yeah, but having lived in the same area as Steve, they damn near pass out at the sign of a snowflake. The run on milk and bread begins about a week before the storm hits ;)

Yup, It's supposed to snow today, and then we're supposed to be below zero by Saturday Morning.  Such is Wisconsin.

Ah, yes - another 'BIG' Nor'easter predicted for us that ended up as a couple inches of powder. Sun has been out most of the day, so probably not much of it left.

Where's 'JN hangin' out, and why wasn't I informed? Coulda stowed away, those airliner wheel wells are pretty cozy.  ;D

Indeed.  Portable DU1 for a few more days then back to the cold/wet.

After livign here for 3 years 92-95, I've only been back once for a few days.  The changes here in 12 years are incredible - mostly for the good.  I can blow my nose without turning the kleenex black anymore!

Noice! A true man-on-the-street's measure of progress.  ;D

Looking forward to hearing you back on the air when you return, John. Delved into the SP-200SX over the last few weekends, what a work of art inside (aside from the mods, of course). Never saw so much brass and ceramic in a tuning compartment b'fer!

Travel safe. We'll save some snow for yas.
