[HamGateNY] It's Snowmageddon! :)

[Jeff Archambeault]

22 inches on this side of the Great Sacandaga Lake. I heard reports of 35"
to the east of here and more to the south.
I'm the plow guy here, playing packet with the locals tomorrow nite. It'll
be interesting to see who shows. I think my machine has a PTT issue, will
be working on totally reworking packet node soon. I may have to put it back
on the KPC3+ till then.
