I live in the "lake effect" snow area of NE Ohio and am predicted to have a lot of snow. We normally get the most snow in the area. About ten days ago we got about 17" of snow in a 36 hour period; it will be interesting to see how much we get in the next 48 hours. It's predicted to be snowing right now--it isn't, there was maybe 1/4" overnight.

I won't be able to leave my stereo on for more than maybe 8 hours at a time in the next few days, but in the past--even in pleasant weather--when I was "between wives" I have left the system on for days at a time and it kept sounding better and better. I think. at times, like now, when there are inches of snow (probably 6") of snow on the roof that the stereo may sound a tiny bit better--it's like the whole huse is tightened up and less "vibrant"---and my system is upstairs, closest to the roof. I don't know what Steve has mentioned about snow and sound. My biggest fear is losing power, as I then lose heat and water and "entertainment" and have to deal with an anxious wife in the cold. When we do lose power in storms. . . it has three times been for more than five days, once for twelve days!
