Happy Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas to all - and to Paul: I hope you are 'weathering' the icy Arctic storms.

Sorry to be late in responding to this.  Thank you, Graeme, we weathered the storm fairly well up here.  In Wisconsin we are prepared for cold and snow, and sometimes take a strange pride in our ability to deal with it!  Father south, however, cold and snow are much rarer events, and everyone has a much harder time dealing with it.

I'm glad to hear it Paul. The stories of loss of power must mean it is pretty bad for many people.

We were actually not in the worst of the storm.  As you say, the power outages were a major problem for a lot of areas.  Buffalo, NY and its area got 40+ inches of snow, and no one can be prepared for that.  They are in a lake-effect snow belt, and often get huge amounts of snow.  I suspect many of the deaths were either in the South or in the Buffalo area.
