Maybe you can explain that. We do have one extra shopping day this season over last but why would the Saturday before Christmas be considered it. I think the public is more inclined to spend the same amount over one extra day season.

Bad weather. Sure we have bad weather in winter. But there is 'bad weather', and REALLY bad weather'. WE have some really bad weather going on now, in addition to above average temperatures that will hit cold weather clothing.

25 to 35% comps. I don't see it. The numbers will be adjusted for the extra day or noted with a foot note. Nobody reports weekly sales anyway.
