Welcome back, Catman. Sally and I drove to the Atlanta area this year (we sort of alternate) and had terrible weather in NC on January 2. Then, because the forecast was for even more on the 3d, we got up real early (Sally doesn't take to that very well) on day 2 of our trip. The weather that day was great, and when we got home our neighbor said they had been (in the DC area) scared for nothing.
