Bill M, your message prompted me to go look at the thermometer at the front door -- I'm only 4 miles from Long Island Sound, 20 miles north of NYC, and the temp at 9:00pm was 3 degrees, just like you! Don't know what the wind factor is, but I don't hear it howling... we also are promised at least 6+ inches of snow starting on Saturday night. That's great for my shoveling lunatic of a husband, but very bad for your family with the drive north. Do they ever delay school's reopening because of impassable road conditions? I'm a big just-in-case'er: bring a big thermos of hot coffee and a blanket for each person in the car, and it all will give you confidence to sail on through! Good luck, Penny in NY ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
