Hi Mark, this story is from a week ago when we got all of that snow. I am assuming you were brought here by the weekly newsletter that, unfortunately, pulls in the top story for the week (which was this one). Sometimes they aren't timely or applicable anymore. We are working to improve the weekly newsletter and fix that issue. Thanks!
