   Quite so; we got caught between two systems that were supposed to merge   
   and give us a whopper of a storm. They didn't merge but gave us enough   
   "weather" to keep kids out of school for a couple of days, then delayed   
   start time for the rest of the week. Black ice was the main "worry   
   issue". Some kids had remote learning, some had snow days, depending on   
   the type of school (traditional, year round, etc) they went to.

   Usually so; I've got my clothes and a lot of the non fridge foodstuffs   
   out in the camper. Just have to load up the fridge (after a shopping   
   trip and raiding our fridge and freezer). I've also got to grab a sewing   
   project (have one bagged), make sure I have the right thread color for   
   it to keep me busy while Steve is "radioing".   
      
    MP> Hope you all have fun at your event.   
      
   Thanks, we'll be seeing some folks we've met at previous events, meeting   
   a lot of new faces to go with call signs. Steve's is NY4NC, or as he   
   says, "I left New York for North Carolina". (G)
