[Rhodes22-list] The weather.

[Rik Sandberg]

Hang in there Rummy,

I don't envy you guys down there a bit when you do finally get a winter 
storm. First of all, they're damned near always ice storms. These can 
sometimes be terribly destructive. Second, none of those homeboys down 
there have a clue what to do when there's a snow flake in the air, let 
alone a road covered by a sheet of ice. Third, the highway departments 
there not only don't know what to do with it, they have NO equipment to do 
it with. Simply put Rummy, YOUR SCREWED, until God takes the stuff 
away.  :-) :-) Hope you bought bread and milk.

I feel better now, we only got an inch of snow last night.
Rik
