Suffolk County, Long Island, about 50 miles east of Manhattan - right now it's snowing but it rained most of the day AFTER they'd closed the schools and caused all kinds of havoc in people's lives. First we were getting two feet, then 12"-18", then around a foot, now they're predicting 4"-8" overnight which will mean another snow day tomorrow. Sometimes I think all this overkill about the weather is due to the Weather Channel and the other all-the-time news networks needing something to talk about constantly. They've been issuing warnings now for about 48 hours and, as yet, the ground is barely covered. So much for modern meteorology. Ray
