Greetings All,

Apologies in advance for this quick off-topic message. Was wondering
how all you Tron owners/fans in the Northeast USA are coping with
the monster snowstorm/blizzard of Sat-Sun Feb 11-12.

Been watching the cable/sat feeds from NYC/Boston....WOW !
18-24 inches (45-60 cm) .   Not over yet....My mother lives in the
heart of NJ's Meadowlands, heavy bands of snow in her area
caused "thunder-snow." Yes , that's correct....Snowfall at rate of 2-3
inches/hour causes enough static buildup and upper convection to create
lightning/thunder.

Dave "Zappaboggs".....what's it like in Sussex? You can build a
Snovatron for yourself now !  Fritz, how are things at your new digs ?
"Tree Fort" is prob. "Snow-Fort" today !   Ken, your area is right in the
path of Boston area's heaviest snowfall.  Jack Younger, and others in the
Boston area, what be happening ?  Bernie, I hear Hartford area also
got whalloped. .....and Jimmy Moto, whazuuuuup  in Philly ?

Major airports shut-down for the day,that's a no-brainer there.
Traffic....what traffic ? Snowmobiles and 4-by's the only way to get around.
Those from VA to Maine, I'd like to hear how y'all are doing.

Cheers, -JK- (....Sob,sniff...not one snowflake here from that storm....)

Although I have not had the time to build a Snovatron. (I have begun work  on 
the stinkiest piece of shit ever. The Smellotron. It is without a doubt the  
worst disaster ever. Good cabinet and keyboard, but just butt UGLY! This one  
came with real dead stuff in it, and tufts of some other unidentifiable 
thing...  along with plenty of remnants of stuff spilled in it and about a few  
thousand mouse turds.

Hi Jerry and All,

I just measured my knees and they're 21 inches from the ground. It 
was 3-4 inches/hour for a while. Bradley Intl. Airport was closed 
all day. Even the local McDonalds was closed, and they never close. 
I did pass by a Fujian Chinese takeout joint that was open though. 
They wouldn't close if a comet hit next door.

Today was a good day to stay indoors, watch a couple of movies 
("From Beyond" and "Fighter in the Wind" (story about Mas Oyama)).

Also a good day to catch up on some Tronning, Hammonding and 
synthesizing :)

Bernie

Bernie,
 
It's obvious that the guys that run your McDonalds are a bunch of pussies.
