Well, the snow _does_ soften the impact at the end of a fall ... .
I will admit that I should have worked on _my_ antennas last Thursday, when
the weather was gorgeous and the very harsh front hadn't yet moved in.
Friday was windy, snowy, rainy, sleety, and icy, and I chose not to get
up on the roof to replace the rotator on my 6/V/U stack. This weekend is
forecast to be rather better, though T-storms may run through on Saturday.
I missed the roundtable, and will have to _make_ time for the next one.
