Don't be a turkey!  Join in this discussion and perhaps learn something about cigars along the way.  Be warned, post on this site and you will catch hell from members and trolls alike.  Therefore, don't proceed if you have thin skin.  If you can accept all that, light a cigar, pour a beverage of your choice and welcome aboard!

Just in case Dean starts complaining about his 45 degree start to the day....forgetting where he was a few months ago, here's a reminder:  There was already 4 feet of snow on the ground at noon Tuesday in Elma, N.Y., and it was snowing so hard Dennis Powers couldn't see out his window.

"We're getting hammered," said Powers, supervisor for the town of 11,300 people less than 20 miles from Lake Erie. "We could get 2-3 more feet of snow. And the wind chill is 2 degrees. So it's cold."

Nearby Lackawanna, N.Y., has a chance of beating the record for a 24-hour snowfall of 76 inches — 6 feet, 4 inches — set in 1921 in Silver Lake Colo., AccuWeather said.

I wonder how many bosses will complain and question workers who call in and say they can't make it to work.
