Yup. I don't mind the winter, I don't even mind shoveling three feet of snow in a week, but if there's another big snowfall, there isn't going to be any place to put it in my neighborhood. Not to mention that there's already a pile six feet high that entirely blocks my view of the road when pulling out of the driveway. I don't insist on Spring, but a thaw would be nice!

I am happy to report that the deal that I ran across here on line for a set of OEM wheels with a set of Dunlop M-2 snow tires has worked out well. When they wear out I will switch to Blizzak's which I understand are the best for our car.

But, I am happy to report as my daily driving the Dunlop's work pretty well. Last Monday on my way back from Long Island I had an occasion to stop for gas along the NJ Turnpike and as fate would have it had the occasion to drive down a lane in the parking lot that had yet to be plowed. Even though the snow was scaping the undercarraige the Dunlop M-2's did an admirable job of getting me through it for about a hundred yards.

I was is snowing here this evening as well. On my way home from running errands, I gased it a couple of times, to test road conditions and traction and they are very perdictable. Unlike the S-02's that are absolutely SCARY in the snow.

I know exactly what you're saying...got up to 21 here yesterday, was sunny and no wind. After all the below zero temps it felt like t-shirt weather. Today may hit 28 .. And all week is supposed to be mostly sunny and high 20's...I'm ready for spring....I'm hoping the ground hog brings good news on the 2nd.

Not sure what you mean Jerry - last I looked snow was white ...

I'm looking forward to some warmer weather. It always seems that the last 6 or 8 weeks or winter seem to drag , but that is where we are at right now.
It won't be much longer and we will be again!

For me at this point I have made it through the worst part of winter. Dec. and Jan. are when we get ice/wind, freezing rain etc. and it's just a gigantic P.I.T.A.! Feb. + March while still cold are generally enjoyable with everything blanketed in white and we always get those occasional couple of days of warm sunny weather.
We have a fifth season here in Vt to get through it is called mud season. It occurs in the spring when all the snow melts, once we get through that it's time to take the S out.

Hey Robb!

My sister used to live in St. Johnsbury, VT. I've seen your mud season. NOT pretty!

We visted her ONCE in the month of Janaury while she lived there and learned a lesson.......too cold. We also went once in mud season, Yuck, and once in black fly season.....OUCH.

Thankfully she moved south a bit to NH!

UGH I forget about black fly season THAT is the worst! Mud season can be a real pain sometimes we will go through mud season and then just as things clear up we get hit with a foot of snow then ANOTHER mud season. My neighborhood has all dirt roads so I can't get my little S out to the highway until the mud is all gone.
