I'm trying hard to wrap my mind around negative temperatures and a meter of snow being more pleasant than positive temperatures and rain..... so far, it's not working.... but then, I grew up in Arizona where we had snowmen made from tumbleweed....

That it would explain bizarre weather in California, don't think so. Speaking of weather, it's +7C, wet, dark and one storm after another here. We haven't got permanent snowcover the whole winter. It should be something like -5 to -20 and half a meter of snow now. Which would be much, much more pleasant. I'm blaming it on European intergration, we didn't sign up for free movement of Franco-German winter weather! Cheers, Teemu Helsinki, Finland __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
