Does the name Oswego, N.Y. ring a bell. Growing up in N.J. in the late 50's, we'd hear about the massive amounts of snowfall in & around Oswego, phenominal amounts. A good winter in NJ would yield 20 to 40 inches of snow, while Oswego regularily got that much in a single dump.
& No, I don't want to hear about the effects of global warming. -----Original Message----- From: frank theriault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Gas Guzzlers On Thu, 28 Oct 2004 11:35:07 -0700, Keith Whaley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Let's see...that's about the same, F or C, isn't it. > Either way, I'll back out of any commitments in that kind of weather. > You could freeze your bippy without knowing it! > > Nope.

In New York State somewhere south of Buffalo? Pennsylvania around Erie? I was just in both of those places on the bus to Pittsburgh to meet Mark Roberts for the GFM travelling road show and extravaganza. Hard to tell what kind of place Erie is from the bus terminal. Buffalo is pretty much exactly like their bus terminal... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com
