Jeff and Linda,

I have no problem with that at all, but I would like to write up a
web page or so of documentation about the maps before the announcement
is made.   I will write that up by tomorrow and get you both the URL.



Sounds good.

One minor concern, tomorrow (Dec 22) is my last official day at work
before the holidays, though I'll be in town and monitoring things from
home until the 26th. Then we leave to visit my folks in Alabama, and
will be gone until January 4 or so.  During that time, I may be
able to check in from my Dad's computer down there but not very
regularly, so if something goes down it may  be a while before
it gets fixed. If that's not a big concern to you, I have no
problem announcing it anytime.
That's OK, Pete. People should understand that it's the holidays and there are always possibilities of down time. Even the NWS and NCEP seem to have their share of problems lately! 

I'll get the web description written up and get you the URL by tomorrow.

 >Looks cold in your part of the world, but probably a white christmas.

Definitely cold, and enough snow to keep my arms tired for quite
some time, but it is nice anyways.  I'd rather have everything white
than brown :)
I agree with you totally. I can remember growing up in Minnesota when the snow turned brown and needed a new snow fall to make it look like winter again, although the temperatures always reflected the fact that it was winter!
Have a wonderful and safe holiday and thanks again for your hard work in the difax arena.

Pete
