There are some crazy meteorological things going on out there in the Pacific; a big frontal line way out there that is making for crazy wind patterns. As we have said so often in this unusual season, who knows? We might even have some pretty serious snow coming on Friday, so it’s time to shovel off some roofs and get ready. There’s still enough snow on some roofs to make it difficult to open doors due to the pressure from above.... Just when we thought we were almost out, we got pulled back in.
