Good Morning,
Just talked with Patrick. He made it to Grace after a difficult trip and services are going ahead. This note is to let you know you should stay home today unless you are up for an adventure. I'm going to try to make it to Grace and we will go with something doable with whoever else makes it. Please only come if it really appears safe for you to do so - otherwise, please stay home.
thanks,
Berkley
