you are one crazy woman!!! was it icy wet snow or dry stuff?

 

[Ble_PE]

NEGATIVE 5, with wind chill dropping it to NEGATIVE 22. I would not be bragging about 22F. That's normal and not frostbitey.

Pfft, speak for yourself. 22F is fu%kin' freezin'!

My kids will be walking home today from school about a mile in 5° temps

I'm glad as hell I got new tires last week!

Mostly packed snow. It made that grinding sounds under the tires. Snow plows lifted their blades for me. More powdery snow than wet.

Swapped the tires on Mrs Dex's Jeep on Monday. Made the drive this morning a bit easier.

 

[Road Guy]

you have a complete set of extra rims and tires?

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Yep. Coworker had a Jeep that her husband installed a lift kit with new wheels and tires for her birthday/anniversary (how romantic), but they have since sold the Jeep and had the stock wheels/tires in the basement. I bought them for $100, so now I have a good "cruising" set of tires for the summer, which extends the life of the more aggressive winter tires.

I want to do a similar thing with Bee so I can have a really good set of performance tires for the summer with the "show" rims and have the older beat-up rims with snow tires.

[Road Guy]

Your gonna need that tonight!

 

[snickerd3]

truly scattered snow showers this morning. Snowing at the house, drive half mile no snow.

 

[engineergurl]

they called for snow tonight. It was over 70 here yesterday. Colder now than it was this morning.

 

[csb]

We went from 70 to negative 19 in about 24 hours.

 

[snickerd3]

those kinds of temperature swings knock me on my arse.

It's coming so "Ya'll" east of us get ready....
