The current forecast for the InfoAge area is Sunday it will be leas than
one inch. Can’t say for other areas.

It’s the risk I take in planning repair workshops in winter. The funny
thing is that there hasn’t been any snow in this area so far this winter
but lots and lots and lots of rain.

In any case I hope that everyone can make it, but use your best judgment as
to whether it is safe or not.
