Reggina, you put a curse on us when you mentioned the snow in Reno in one of your previous e-mails. I hope all is settled in your neck of the woods by now, but we are under seige. We had horrible wind storms here on Thursday - 89 miles per hour at my house and on the nearby mountain top, they measured one gust at 134 mph. There are still 5,000 homes in our area without power and it is snowing like there's no end. We've had a mixture of rain and snow for the past two days - 2-l/2 inches of snow yesterday, more today, and in between, we got one and a half inches of rain... so when the temps drop below freezing tonight, all of Reno will be one large skating rink. The good part is the news/weather guy just said we'll probably have more snow on Christmas. Fran
