[Amateur-SIG] HAM SIG SNOWED OUT MEETING CANCELLED

[toddc at woh.rr.com]

Looks like our meeting tonight is becoming a bad idea, given the 
intensity of the snow and the speed in which the roads have 
deteriorated.  Since I work just a few blocks (and a hop and a skip) 
away from Valley, I will stop by DMA HQ to gather stragglers and 
hearty souls and send them on their way home.  
But beyond that, consider this meeting cancelled!  Please be safe and 
I look forward to seeing you in March!
