Hi, spider,

Thanks for the link... very interesting!

I have a question - why do they keep saying that last winter had such severely cold weather? I live up here in northern NY, and as far as I could see, except for a cold snap in February, it was a pretty mild winter.

To see if it was just me & my imagination, I dug up the NWS info for Burlington VT, (that IS considered new england, isn't it???). As I thought, the only month with a lower than last year monthly average was March. see http://www.nws.noaa.gov/er/btv/

I don't think anyone who lives in the Northeast is buying into the "severe cold" BS... but neither are most folks willing to acknowledge a possible link between shortages and Y2K.

Oh well. I don't know about you all, but up here, we used to always plan on a week or two of -30 nights. Hasn't been steadily that cold in years now.

I think I'll go order another load of wood, though, just to be safe!

Firewood is the wampum of Y2K ;-)
