   wow.. I missed that completely during "the storm".. In the Ithaca area it was   
   just the same-old same-old.. maybe we got about a foot and a half of snow   
   (looked cool).. we paid the neighborhood kid to shovel us out.. Ron told him   
   "here's 20 bux, shovel what you think is fair".. This great kid shoveled us   
   out completely :)   
      
   Then it rained.. warm rain.. and all the snow went away.. today, we have the   
   sad remains laying about (well sad if you were a snowman ).   
      
   > planning any unnecessary driving even so.  :)  We got out to do our   
   > usual weekly grocery shopping yesterday (Fri) late morning, just at the   
      
   We also shopped "just in case"..but it turned out not to be really necessary..   
      
   Still waiting for spring-ish temps though.. darn it's cold.. Guess it's   
   February.   
      
   :)   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
