    Get your snow shoes and cross country skis ready. I heard from a friend of mine down at CBOE that one of the big wigs came early in the morning during our big blizzard last year on cross country skis, and had traveled a few miles on them. Now that's dedication!

    If the Mayan's could do it, why not us? Let's see, this can't be too difficult.

    Since we have had relatively mild winters........yep, time to roll the dice on a bad winter. Still a 50:50 chance AND who is going to say it wasn't "bad" with all the global climate change going on.

    Its supposed to get cold next week and then warm back up again. Nothing showing yet until mid to late January. It was like this in 1999/2000. Atleast when we do get hit its rare to get a huge 12+ snow fall like on the east coast. I remember New York City getting 3 huge storms as big as our February storm in 1 year a couple of years back. Yet all they do is look at our bad weather. They should look in their own back yard! Noreaster loves them :)
