The new snow tires I bought in November have gone largely untested. I'll switch back to summer rubber in mid-March, guaranteeing heavy spring snow....

Spent $300 fixing my 15 yr old snow blower. I think I have used it three times on what little snow we have had. After running the Fiesta last winter on the stock Kumhos,I finally got wheels for the Blizzaks. So now I am wearing them out on the snowless highways. But then I was glad I had them on when getting off the lake was a piece of cake.

Ah, well, thanks for fixing the snowblower. I've used mine exactly once this season, and hope not to fire it up again until it gets moved to the back of the shed in Spring.
This is also the first winter my wife and I both have snow tires on our daily drivers. If I'd known it was that easy to chase away the snow, I'd've done this years ago.

Stage III Toaster accepts bagels, uses roman numerals to make your Stage "2" seem like a lightbulb powered bake oven sold to 8yr old girls.
I thought the Stage III had a crossram box style toast loading tray.

For the first time I spent the money and got two sets of new snow tires for both DD and so far it may as well have been spring.

I bought a plow kit for my riding mower off craigslist in December...
Its snowed a meager 1/2" of slushy "snow" so far this year.
I still pulled it out of the garage to plow the driveway though. It was a shakedown run. Turns out I learned I should probably have the chains on if it really does snow.

Careful, talking about it might jinx it. First rule....

Exactly one week after I put the snow tires on my Saturn, it snowed.
In October.
And has snowed one time since

You called it! I woke up this morning to 8" (dang I wish I could say those words in another context). Time to fire up ol' Bessie.
