Yeah, the NY and NJ do not say things the way they do say things the way we do in the west. But that is the way of it in the US. Some things go back years. If it does have a W sound I cannot get my toung around it. I know it is snowing we have about 6" in Frotine, Montana . Northwestern part of the state, about 3500 ft. , the mountains around us are a good 12,000 ft. The snow starts there a month before it does here. I see a new snow in the mountains, check the date and about one month later in is snowing here and winter is here for sure. Now if you can make it down 93 to Kalispell, the flatlands it is winter also. fm
