Just slush from the Nice Bridge Md/VA line to Fredericksburg. Light traffic, so I could drive 65 all the way, although it ws hard to see sometimes. Trains are running. Slippery walking in the parking lot.as the snow compresses to ice underfoot. About 32F.

I just love it when the weather service tell me the heavy snow will make travel dangerous, and I should put food in my car and wear a heavy coat. No 5hit Sherlock.

Just tell me the forecast!

I wonder if there is anyone ever that said "wow I better put food and water in my car this time because the weather service said I should." The people that plan ahead for problems already have that stuff ready. The other dummies that never plan ahead and go out in a winter storm are the ones that need to be rescued. They will not change because of the weather service.

Get off my lawn!

Good morning folks.

hey Jferr! got one for you. DWG files and TIFF files do you know of a way to make the tiff a perm part of the dwg. Kinda like a bound xref. Seems we have a few folks here that keep forgetting to send the tiff to the client.

Well snow here this morning, about an inch, Hubby set off for BWI and said it was a bit snowy but not too bad, cleared up before he got to BWI, temp is 33, so have the fire going, just to make me feel warmer.

Dropped Hubby off to collect a rental car, and there were some big crashes on the way, heaps of ambulances, fire brigade cops that sort of thing, so looking pretty bad on the roads around peak morning time, was still snowing fairly heavily at the time, so after dropping Hubby, went to Panera and had a coffee and read the paper, and waited for the stupidity to stop.

That kind of craziness is exactly why I bought an $800 Range Rover. it's 4x4 so gets around just fine, but cheap enough if the stupididity tries to occupy the same space as me, no worries.

That would be interesting if possible.

I have several customers in several states that can't figure out how to re-link a tiff in a DWG. I send the tiff but is is never in the same directory that they have on their computer.
