Still have 1-2 ft of snow on the ground in Northern Michigan, Northern Pennsylvania, & the snow belt east side of Cleveland. Central Ohio received 13-15 inches of snow and the Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky area received in excess of 20 inches. Recently, we have experienced warmer temps enough to melt most of the snow to make way for some significant rainfall with flooding. In between all of this, we had a 48-hour period of a severe ice storm. Lots of trees and power lines were down, no shortage of firewood. We have had all weather extremes in recent weeks.

The President of the MiGCSA (Michigan State Wide GCSA) invited me to be the Industry Partner Representative for 2008. This is an honor to be selected, we will meet on a quarterly basis. This will give BASF the opportunity to have even better relation with the MiGCSA Board of Directors.
