Surely it will get better for y'all next week.  Its warmed up here a good bit over the past couple of days.

I was getting cold feet about shipping fish Monday.  I've got two boxes going to two different guys in Wisconsin and a huge box going to a guy in PA and one that I'm not as worried about going to VA I have decided to ship.  Wisconsin will be in the 30's next ween and the  20's the week after.  Some of these people have been waiting since the middle of December for their fish.  All things considered, I'm lucky that there will be a bit of a respite from the bitter cold before it comes and hits us again wfwf  My heart will be in my throat.  I can replace the half blacks but I can't replace the parent raising Gold Pearl Scale pairs.

I'll email the guy I'm shipping to and ask him how the roads are.  The fish should arrive Wed.  Surely by that time the roads should be clear.  This is the guy who wanted the fish but had to pay in two installments.  He asked my permission to do it that way.  He did exactly what he said he would do.

Thanks for questioning VA.  The guy says it's bad there but didn't say how it would be Wed when the fish arrive.  He says that it's up to me but I need to know about Wed, before I decide whether or not to ship.

I got it worked out with Steve in Virginia.  It will be acceptable conditions there Wednesday.  He asked me to ship to his place of business because the building is right off a main highway.  He thanked me for checking with him on what to do.  That was nice.
