[Christine Kudija" <cmkudija@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Christine Kudija)]

We'll see what this weather statement portends for the weekend!  And really,
I don't believe everything the weather folks say, but it's interesting to
compare what really happens with the prediction....so far these folks have
been right on with the "special weather statements"!
