Steve, LOL! Actually more like LMFAO. We weather fans are strange birds, no? Up north here, I always try to taste the season's first snowflake. And I'm glad you cracked open that tasty frosty beverage (mmmmm.it is early, but I could use a cold one 'bout now).

In all seriousness, I really do believe we will have Alex on our hands. And as long as it's just a big rainmaker and no one gets hurt, well then all the better. Wish I could be down there for the start of the season, but I'm vicariously enjoying it up here all the same (so, too, are Rich B. & James88 across the pond, I'd imagine).

What were the Dvorak #s? 1.0/1.0? Can't get too excited YET. If they get to 2.0/2.5 anytime soon, well then I'm popping that frosty cold one!

Enjoying the show and the banter,
