We had about 10" of snow on the ground before the short melt hit, making things a bit soggy. Then the temps dropped again and we got another 3 - 4 inches over the last couple of days. Hopefully, they'll have the roads cleared by the time I set out. Mark On 01/11/2016 08:14 AM, Peter Blodow

Mark, it surely was interesting, when I drove to Traverse City last time, some 50 years ago, when I was temporarily a Michigander. Was a nice skiing weekend. Peter Am 11.01.2016 13:34, schrieb Mark: > 8 Degrees and snowing here in Grayling, MI this morning. I have to > drive over to Traverse

Rob, We've been running this for a little while now and it seems to be working well for us. Is there any plans to move it to the mainstream (Master or 2.7)? - Original Message - From: "Robert Ellenberg" To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)"
