That sucks... sorry to hear that. I've always said that the weather was controlled by a lady (Mother Nature) since it changes it's mind every 10 minutes... and always spoils a good day of plans.

Just playing. It may be time to score a new set of tires if it is that bad. Let me know if you decide to start looking. I get a decent deal on tires that I can pass your direction.

I hear ya, the weather sucks this time of year.

I'm leaving Fri to drive from SE NY to NE OH, between snow storms hopefully.

If you are looking for some good skins for bad weather as well as dry or strip, check out the GY Eagle HP Ultra Plus. Two weeks ago I had my new ones in several inches of snow and traction was surprisingly good. Looks like I'll get a chance to run that test again this weekend.

Have a good Holiday.

Weather here in LV got a little cold today....down to 50's and full sunshine. Guess I won't be taking the top off this week. I used to live in the Dakotas and upstate NY so I've felt the pain of "real" winter weather before.
