This should be fun!!

Plow drivers may sit out big weekend snowstorm
By Jennifer Rosinski
Friday, December 5, 2003

The snow shovels may come out of hibernation this weekend, when cold fronts moving in from the north and south dump several inches of the white stuff across Boston and outlying areas.

And state-contracted plow drivers are considering sitting the storm out.

``Saturday looks ugly,'' said Alan Dunham of the National Weather Service in Taunton. ``There's a possibility of more than 6 inches of snow. We don't expect the snow to clear up until Sunday morning.''

That could mean bad news for drivers if snow-plow operators in a contract dispute with the state refuse to show up when called to work this weekend.

Drivers who gathered at the Raynham Taunton Greyhound Park last night said they will not work if the state does not honor their current contract, which expires Dec. 31, and instead requires them to use GPS phones to track their movements. Mass. Highway has said the state is not required to call into work drivers who have balked at using the phones.

Both sides will meet at 11 a.m. today in the Transportation Building to continue negotiations.

A mix of sleet and snow will hit Boston and coastal areas, while pure snow will cover communities to the north, south and west, Dunham predicted. The first flakes should blanket the ground by late tonight when temperatures drop to the low 20s, Dunham said.

Tomorrow, wind gusts of 35 mph could whip up the snow as it falls steadily throughout the day.

Sounds like they are buying the bonds on expectation that Alan will be able to keep rates low.

Bullish for stock.

I'm thinking your INTC comes back this afternoon.
