It’s a beautiful day in the snow covered Shenandoah valley. We got something like 20 inches of snow, though it’s hard to tell now. Yesterday it snowed a little but the wind blew a lot. Some places it’s 10 inches deep, and some places it’s five feet. Here are a few snaps of the damage.

Want to know why I’m still with Verizon? It’s mainly because AT&T’s voice network is lousy. But below I’ve grabbed their data coverage maps for the area I spend the most time in.

I haven’t posted in a while, and I blame that on a)Lunarpages having lousy shared servers and b)the Wordpress Postie plugin being a real CPU hog for some reason.
