ok, i'm running in the shower, will be back out and on the computer by 3pm,
so i will await everyone's input as to what we are doing tonight. i know
this is one of the more challenging night's to call - on or off, due to the
storm being so unusual. So, monitor your sites and give me an update at 3pm
so i can let everyone know what we are doing.
Thanks so very much
Terri
