Yes, you poor, poor things. How ever do you survive all that ice and snow in TEXAS?


Probably not as well as you do in America's ice box. You get lots of practice driving in the stuff. Lots of practice!

You could send that one over to sprior so he can get his daily fix.

If there's more than 1/2" or so they close the whole place down.

Snow tires aren't used that often in most of the USA, ever since radial tires took over. As a matter of fact, there aren't that many states that they are legal in , and then only for a few months a year. Those studs really tear up the road. Yet another reason why northern and rust belt states generally are constantly repair roads (that and "frost heaves"). And generally they work best on rear wheel drive vehicles. Front wheel drive? Not so much....

Studded snow tires are as you've stated-a rare find. Most "Snow tires" used on passenger vehicles these days are somewhat softer rubber with much deeper grooves for snow to pack into but yet restrict hydroplaning on 'pushed' snow. They look a lot like normal tires.

They wear rather poorly though. You're lucky to get 30,000 miles out of a pair. When you're using them for 5 months out of the year...

I must confess to admiration for the blizzard last year that closed the place down but good. Atta girl, mother nature.

What? You are happy that the over paid, underworked bureaucrats got even more time off with pay? That's your tax dollars (as well as mine) at loss there!

The most annoying part about winter in LI is the bone-chilling wind. We get a decent snowstorm maybe times a year, with most of the effects melting within a few days.
