[Leica] Nathan's PAD 9/1/2021: Filomena

[Don Dory]

Enjoy the fact that the snow is 30 km away where it is pretty and if you
love snow sports you can go to it.  We just had a day of snow and the folks
here don't have any way of dealing with it.  Many aerial highways with
crowned roads make ice.  Four wheel drive doesn't help on ice.
