It’s been in the 40’s for the past few days, and long range forecasts show temps staying consistently in the low 40’s to high 30’s for the most part, so it looks like it’s time to put on the snows… of course, now that I have the snows on, I know exactly what will happen in the next few days… temps will rise into the 70’s and we’ll have a nearly snowless winter this season… ---

Can you come and put them on again here, too? ---

Pour some sand into the oil fill tube of your snow blower and record snows will be sure to follow. ---

I got mine on back at the beginning of the month, one snowfall too late. It’s snowed once since then and now I know why I spent all that money on them. Yikes! That Saturday sliding around town on my other tires was scary. It looks like it’ll be at least a week before we get any more, but ice is around and is far scarier anyway. I love my snow tires. Love love love them.
