I know a lot of regulations are relaxed in VT, but possums shouldn't be driving in the first place. They're horrible drivers and don't wear seat belts. That's why you see them lying dead on the road after they've been ejected from the car. Very sad. We're getting what looks to be a relatively minor ice storm on LI. How much are they predicting you'll get, Red? R |

Plus they need so many phone books piled-up to be able to see over the dashboard that the books themselves are a safety hazard. We're getting what looks to be a relatively minor ice storm on LI. How much are they predicting you'll get, Red? In my area (Ontario), they're predicting up to 10" by tomorrow afternoon. But given their accuracy so far this winter, I think we'll get an inch. I'm in Ontario too, and since we've dodged all the "big ones" so far this winter, a foot or more won't surprise me at all. Then again, nor will 4 inches. |

We had 14 inches yesterday and it may take the rest of the week to start getting back to normal. There are hardly any cars moving on the streets, they can't get around the ones that are stuck, including a few snow plows. I expect the snow you are supposed to get is what we had yesterday. Bill |

stuff snipped Back when SNL was funny. I tape it - watch the intro- FF to the news- and delete it. [I watched all of Betty White's show- she was in every skit!] So true. I can watch SNL now in about 5 minutes with a DVR and FF. The only episode I missed so far *was* the Betty White one )-: so I've been watching the rerun listings to try again. Saw her in "Community" though - hilarious. Especially the blowgun and "getting dirt roaded" parts. I hope I still have my chops like she does when I am her age. I can remember her from B&W TV and "Password." She has real comic timing and like Cloris Leachman has become one of the few highly successful "grandma" comedians. Gotta go charge up all my batteries for the coming storm of the century. Wait, wasn't that the three feet of snow we had in last year's storm of the century? FWIW, the local news dreamed up a new weather condition. Last night, we were told to expect "ice pellets" as if some angry giant with a huge pellet gun was up in the clouds. Last time I checked those pellets were known as hail, and in this case, never materialized. It did seem to inspire more panic than usual, though. -- Bobby G. |

More like sleet, but different again. |
