I come from good, solid, agricultural stock, and spent 5 years - ages 12-17 - working on my cousin's dairy farm 4 afternoons a week. During a huge storm I swerved to dodge a cow and hit a patch of ice, skidding the heavy back-end of the John Deere tractor into a snow drift, and was unable to get it out right away. "No problem," we all said, "We don't realy need this tractor right now, and we'll dig it out when the storm is over." That night, as the sky cleared and the temp plummeted, the hot engine from the tractor melted the snow packed around it, while the chill night air caused it to almost immediately refreeze...[0] -j- [0] no, the magical insulating powers of snow didn't seem to have made much impact. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
