Howdy! Joe,

I seen the TV News this morning and one article was about West Virginia
Schools in Jeffrson County, WV were Closed because of Snow.

The TV Station I saw the News on is in Louisville (Jefferson County), KY.

I went to Kindergarten through 12th Grade at Schools in Louisville.

One Winter day (1958?) when I was in the Eight Grade of Junior High School
and an announcement on the Speaker System said that because of the bad
weather that day, anyone who could not make it to School that day wouldn't be
counted as an absentee, but the Students who already arrived at School would
attend their regular Classes that day.

To my memory that was the only time I remember a Snow Day at Schools where
I lived at.

When watching the News story I thought about You and I was wondering since WV
(I think) has harder Snow's than Kentucky does, when You attended School were
there any Snow Days where You didn't have to go to School?

I looked on the map to see where Jefferson County, WV was, and saw it is at
the Far Eastern part of WV, and where You are in Huntington is on the Western
side of WV.

Miles away from You, but did Huntington get a lot of Snow Wednesday Morning?

The TV News said there was a little Snow overnight but it changed to Rain.

Snow is expected to come back again in a few days.

Being a Riverman I thought about when all of the Snow that fell in the
Eastern U.S.A. Up River from Me melts, as it comes down the Ohio River it
will raise the water level quite a bit as it goes by here.

I ask Daryl all of the time to keep any Bad Weather going through Arkansas
"IN" Arkansas and away from Me and You.

Joe, could You devise a way to hold back that River Water as it goes past
Huntington to keep the Ohio River down here from rising too much?
Thanks In Advance.

P.S. This Tagline is for Daryl.

... I just bought a cured ham...wonder what it had...
