Tom, your and others' weather problems are a reminder of why I moved from upstate New York. We get rain here in Oregon. I like it--you don't have to shovel it. Our weather comes from the west, from countries that never let Al Gore stop global warming.

Oh, and I did hear a great comment on y'all's weather. I heard it called "stimulus weather"--it's (shall we say) shovel-ready.
