Re: (erielack) Cloudy days along the EL(2)

Yup...we get the cloudy days from time to time out here in Ohio also, 
although this year we've had a great Sept. and Oct. weather-wise (good for 
us railfans...)...in fact this week here in Columbus, it's been in the 
mid-70's and sunny all week - but snow, cold and cloudy weather is not too 
far off on the horizen...
