My friend in Zurich told me yesterday that after he ate lunch outside it was nice to cool off in the office in the afternoon. Meanwhile I looked out the window where huge snowflakes were peacefully falling and I almost got fooled into a belated christmas-spirit...<BR/><BR/>Btw, hello TBF!

I think they're pretty common in Finland.<BR/><BR/>Kirk - At least you didn't get hit with the snow that Chicago got sideswiped by yesterday. Jo Mama kept asking me about the weather forecast, and I kept telling her that her plane would be landing in sleet/snow with 35+ mph wind gusts.
