    Looks like they are calling off the snow but now are calling the cold snap dangerous. What jerks. People have lived through this sort of thing since time began, why do they feel they have to blow it all out of proportion? Well, it is going to get colder as we go towards December. We will see some snow. The wind will blow and it will be cold. It will also cause some lake effect snow. So what is the big deal?

    As for being prepared, we do plan a trip and it is November so our car is set up as it will be until late March; extra clothing, a couple blankets, a bucket of sand, snow brush, ice scraper, etc. It is called being prepared.

    It is still a neck-n-neck race between Woodstock and Travis Industries.

    I agree, I doubt there is anything objective about it. The data isn't even there to help understand the "innovation" each entry is featuring.

    I voted for Helbro. I love his work. He doesn't just build stoves, they are pieces of art. Yes, that is my subjective opinion and I wouldn't change my vote.
