Well, it sorta sounded like you meant they were leaving in droves. Sorry for the confusion :P.

Quote - The weather here is wet and getting nasty.  Freezing rain falling now, supposed to switch over to snow this evening.

It's warm here actually. A freak blizzard in October and now it's like April. I can't keep up...lol. I think it is supposed to turn colder tomorrow tho ;).
