OT RBlatch: That's a nice sized parcel of land anywhere these days. You're having the kind of storm we had in Chicago in 1978. My car was buried on a Chicago side street near Lake Michigan for 3 months before we could dig it out and actually drive anywhere. I remember waiting for busses and "L" trains in sub zero wind chills. I vowed then and there that I would finish school and eventually move out of Chicago. And we did. My family still all live in the Chicago area. Poor bastards. My wife has family in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area and we both have extended family in North Carolina. They're probably all buried in snow right about now. Good luck digging out. I'm looking forward to spring and the 70 degree days that it brings to our area of Central Texas. Stay warm.
