Charlie, that is a term from back in the days of half the farmland being in 
summerfallow and I can well remember the roadside ditches being filled with 
drifts of gray snow. Hard and unyielding, it made for rough snowmobiling. 
Not anymore.
No, the dust in my mouse is all generated right in the house. Too much time 
on the computer and not enough on the vacuum cleaner. :-)
Wind chill factor back in the -40s today.
