[AT] Speaking of Snow - Way O.T.

Farmer,

I'll let you decide how to get to the CT/MA area. You basically have 2 
choices when you get this way...either take I-84 through Hartford into Mass where it 
hits I-90 (the Mass Pike) at exit 9. Your other option would be to to pickup 
I-90 around Albany and then head east. I live about 20 minutes from exit 3 on 
I-90. This coming weekend I'll be in Worcester (exit 10 off I-90) for the 
George Strait concert at the DCU center. Where exactly are you heading?

Oh yeah..the weather...here in western Mass. we're supposed to get 4-7" of 
snow on Monday with the rest of the state getting rain. Then in the 30's and dry 
for the rest of the week.

Karl
