The forecasts are pretty good ? if we get normal weather henceforth.

It's a little bit of a surprise, winter storms have been warmer than normal, and the snow line has been at higher elevations than average.

The longer we can hold it there the better. It will stretch out the supply a little more.

The implication is that raw winter weather may have depressed starts last month, particularly late in the month. Even so, starts remained above the 2003 average [of] 1.85 million [units].

We had a pretty good meet with the group that we have. I think (the weather) had a tremendous effect. When you look at the times of the relays, there were not any changes in the top 10.

We've had pretty good weather,
