It was TOO good to be true

[brunota2003]

Dennis...you WILL get rain sometime in March...if I am right, then I'm right...if I'm wrong, then sorry I failed you...

Thanks for the positive attitude, we in Arizona need something to hold on to, prayers don't work. A mountain wide prayer vigal was held 3 weeks ago, 28 churches got together and held a MEGA prayer vigal.......did it work? Obviously not.

Dennis

DID IT WORK? did one person change the future? stay tuned to next weeks episode of "Did It Work?" when Dennis anwsers the question...

AWESOME!! Best news I've seen on the Winter Wx forum all "winter" long.

Glad you're the Snowman again!
