Here in the Upstate Otsego County (Oneonta -Cooperstown) Area we have locations with up to 41 inches on hilltops just south of Oneonta and some as low as 19 at the northern end of the county near Cooperstown.

How is everyone doing after last night's storm?  Down here in NYC, Staten Island received about half of what the Bronx received.  With the high winds, drifts are higher in places than what actually fell.
As things settle down, you may notice some problems with your coax and/or antenna.  Take the time to check things out both physically and electrically.  Make use of your antenna analyzers and SWR bridges while moving the coax around, especially around the connectors.  The key to a fully functional system encompasses all of the aspects, from the signal to the proper configuration of the software and networking.
Let's all help each other to overcome obstacles, lack of information and any negativity from others. :)
