Well yeah, but that's not exactly the same as having every major road in a metropolitan area of 1.5 million people turning to ice without warning or preparation. As for seattle.. I guess snow in Seattle is like snow in Tampa. It's snowed in Tampa before, and I would imagine the commute was hell there too when it did snow. This 1/4" incident was worse than the time we got 22" of snow earlier this decade. At least then it happened on a Sunday, and they were predicting snow (although only 2 to 4 inches!)... so pretty much everyone was already home. Even if it had been a weekday, with threat of snow, they close the schools. Of course, with 22" of snow, the kids missed school for 2 weeks. I even missed 3 days of work! Best part about moving to north carolina - snow days from work! That *NEVER* happened in Michigan. Didn't matter how much snow you got, you still had to go to work. -- Rick Root Check out CFMBB, BlogCFM, ImageCFC, ImapCFC, CFFM, and more at www.opensourcecf.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:242587 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
