Talk To Me

It was 81 degrees in Chicago yesterday, but PFFC's VP of sales, Tim Janes, woke up to 14 in. of snow in Evergreen, CO. Wouldn't be surprised if he went snowboarding today, but with the crazy weather patterns lately, it may all be melted by now.

Apologies to our readers in Minnesota, but we're hoping the Blackhawks can close out the series against the Wild tonight.
Go Hawks!
