I'm just outside of Flint-town here. Damn I miss my car, I can't wait to get it out this spring but of course we're supposed to get another 3"-6" of snow tonight.

1-3 inches of snow overnight tonight... 3-5 tomorrow. High temps are about 10-15 degrees below normal for this time of year, and there's no relief in sight for the next ten days.
Just thought I'd brighten all of our days.

My company hires lots of people from Perdue. Any chance you are working on an engineering degree? What company are you working for?
Thanks, Bill

Let me know what department you are in and I'll stop over and say hi sometime. What's your name?
Take Care,
