Hi there, Penny -- Nova Scotia is worse off than we are, with (-40*) -- for we only got down to (-22*) today. Practically no visible precipitation, but there's ice underfoot everywhere. My son in Rochester reports (-37*) and it hasn't stopped snowing for 7 days. They closed all the malls but not their community schools! In the whole suburb, only one restaurant remained open, Appleby's, which managed to get mobbed in spite of the hazardous driving. I don't know if that's a sign of cabin fever, or of adventure....? Hope your electric wires hold up...! Penny in NY ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
