Stay warm and safe!! We were supposed to get your storm, and while it snowed overnight, it pretty much petered out by the time it got to Toronto (I'm sure up around Dave's area there's more). We awoke to maybe 2-4 inches from overnight, with less than an inch fallen today, and here it is noon and it seems to have stopped. We were told to expect up to 30 centimetres (well over 10 inches) but (like usual) they overestimated the storm. Hope you all get through this, and I look forward to lots of piccies! ;-) cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
