one must really ease into the gas... a gentle mix with summer tires... but not recommended.

the all-season tires i had in the past weren't much better.

I'll second that.

Though I am not totally out of the woods here in Detroit...I think we're up to a quarter of an inch from this storm.

I feel your pain! We've got about 16" here in Beavercreek and it's still coming down. We just got back from checking out the roads in the Jeep. It looks like Christmas out there (minus the lights!).

I do have to admit though...there's one thing I like about snow. Right after a fresh snowfall, early in the morning, I love how quiet it is.



Oh...and it looks so pretty!

We've been lucky here on Long Island, only got a couple of inches all winter. Yesterday and today we have been getting a ton of rain, parts of the area got 4" of rain. I'll take the rain over snow anytime.

Naw, can't stand the humidity. Plus I like my house to have four walls and roof with no threat of hurricanes.
