Hi Kevin,

Three days of rain washed most of the snow away but we may get a dusting next Weds. It may not be enough for the sleigh but it'll look nice. We plan to steam up #10 tomorrow and do an inspection trip to Alna Center with the passenger consist. I'll have things ready for the bonfire at AC, there may even be a small (but period correct) surprise up there.
