It's half way through February, and we've had no hard winter yet. El Nino seems to get the credit for a warm and wet winter. I had expected a bad winter. Wrong again! I guess it is a case where being wrong was good.
Spring will only be a couple of weeks behind this article -- Hooray!
This improved weather allowed progress to be made on our construction projects at South Ney and Big Mackie at Arlington.

I personally would like to thank our Director of Construction East Stan Hanquist and Lou Gillotti for their coordination efforts.
Mr. Jerry Rugg's question and answer portion was very informative. Thank you from us participants.
