[Lowfer] North Carolina Ice Strom / HBG plotting on hold

Fri, 6 Dec 2002 12:27:28 -0800 (PST)

Wow, looks pretty bad.  I can't imagine having a power loss with all of
the cold and ice.
I can remember Jan. 2000, I flew into Raleigh/Durham on Monday
afternoon for a week long class at Nortel.  Class was shortened that
night because of snow and ice conditions.  I think it snowed about 2
feet that night, nothing moved in Raleigh for a week.  I finally had to
drive to Greensboro on Friday to get a flight out.  Fortunately for me,
I had booked myself into a full service hotel that week, and they had
plenty of food and drinks for the week. 

BTW, are all three of those towers yours?
