That's a good CR4 Challenge question, actually, though there should be some token prize available for getting the right answer. Just to encourage respondents, that sort of thing.

AutoCad, in its base form, is a 2D drafting program. Solidworks is a 3D solid modelling program. Please don't ask which software is better than another.

Agree. I like apples myself.

Hi Kevin! How are things? How's your snow depth down there? We've got over a meter so far this winter. Great for the kids for all their tunelling and whatnot, bad for the spring melt. How's your flood forecast?

We have about a meter of snow still in the yard. Piled drifts along the driveways are about 1-1/2 or 2 meters high... really have to be careful backing out of the drive, that's for sure. Still cold here (+2F this morning), high temp today expected to be about +20F. Doorman's Chick is adapting quite nicely to the snow, this being a little bit more than she is used to.

Red River flooding is being forecast as 80% likely, but that is not really a reflection of the actual condition we are likely to see. Farmers tell me that the snowpack is about right, and they are expecting a pretty fair water year. So, we aren't in too bad of shape.
