Well, I've been there, so I'm not going to gloat. Back when I was a rent-a-doc, I spent a month working in Topsham, Maine, just across the river from Naemanson. One night (I think it was December 1989) it snowed so hard that Gordon Bok had to cancel a concert in Blue Hill. I drove all the way up from Freeport to see him, but by the time the concert started he couldn't make it in from Camden. I also worked two weeks in Gloucester, and even spent a week way up in Presque Isle. I lived near Springfield, Mass., in the mid-80s, and my sister lives in Lexington. So I'm real familiar with New England storms, and I hope this is an easy one. I also know how reliable the weather services can be. Last November when Hilo got 29 inches of rain in 24 hours the morning forecast was for "brief morning showers"!

Aloha,
Mark
