Hi Ky!

The good news is it didn't do any damage locally; other areas just north
weren't so lucky.

If one sets a good example....

Didn't get the snow -- may have drizzled a litle before sunrise.  Did 
wander out yesterday (Saturday) afternoon to check for damage: none 
other than hail marks on the wood deck.  Did have a pile of snow by the 
fence -- that's not snow, that's a frozen-together pile of hail!  The 
hail had been funneled where the two rooflines meet, overshot the gutter
and piled on the ground.


 KM> Well, when we're done with it, we do send it on east...
 
Will do!  Plus have to make room for the next storm due in Tuesday.  
Good news: only catagorized as a Level 3 out of 5.  Bad news: lasting 
much longer and overnight: anticipated to start noon Tuesday and end 6 
a,m. Wednesday morning.

.... Why do chicken coops only have two doors?  If 4 would be chicken sedans.
