[at-l] Massachusetts shut down

[Jim Bullard]

My son in Austin, TX told me that they even got an inch or so of snow there.
Here in the far North of NY we're getting snow. The forecast is 2-5" but
South of me in the ADKs they are expecting 12". I can live without the icing
thank you. We had our fill of that in '98 when everyone lost power for up to
6 weeks. Those in icing areas have my sympathy.
