Hi Fair:

Please wait until the ice clears before making anything big of the hype coming
from news accounts of the ice storm.  I've found that looking back brings on a
little different perspective.

I'm not saying it ain't bad, I just know all the motivations to make it look
bad for things such as disaster aid, federal justifications, and on and on. 
Also take a look at this site <http://www.info-4-you.com>  Looks like someone
has set up an ice disaster newsroom on the web.
