Looks like you are about a month ahead of us. Our list would have to start with chipping the three inches of ice off everything :-)

Good luck getting it all done. This is not a good time to fall behind.

Thanks Alan. We've had the worst snow for twenty years today, so perhaps list now looks as though it may have to be 'file under Fiction'.
