[at-l] Snow, snow snow

[Linda Benschop]

Rockdancer,

I remember those "good ole days" of building snowmen and making snow 
angels!  We have already had snow here three times but not enough to do 
those things.  Two inches was the most, but I heard we will be getting 
more and January is the most snow.

Have fun!  Hummingbird
