LOL, perhaps.

I think my brother is going from all seasons to winter
My dad is going from summer to winter. He's had some trouble trying to get his car in at the dealership as they're completely useless @ that dealership but he's had screwups at other places... Compicated story.

I'm debating getting winter tires. I have a Nissan Pathfinder, 96 and have all seasons. But... thought about getting winter tires.

The Blizzak's rock! It's as if there isn't even any snow on the road.

I pity anyone who doesn't have their winter tires on now. Imagine the lineups to get installs the rest of this week? LOL!

Thankfully I don't have to go a single damn place today. I'm working from home and I will stay here the entire day. Frickin sweet.

I can say the Blizzak's I had put on my car last week turned out to be a good purchase, even though they were $1700 installed.

Without them I most certainly wouldn't have been able to drive safely this morning.

LOL! Nice.

I gotta change the tires on my bike tonight so I can ride in tomorrow. The bus was stupid slow today. Also loved how he spun his tires all the way up one of the hills. That's a great way to improve traction for everyone else.

Really glad I got the day off work today. Not leaving the house at all today I think, just going to do some cleaning and watch the Flames game tonight.

Yup. I'm in a gas guzzling lifted diesel truck with a sled deck on the back. I eat small children, push over grandmothers in their walkers, and grill large slabs of beef on my outdoor bbq that's powered by a genset. I am the anti christ. Especially around CP.


But yeah, 15 over (65 in a 50 zone) on EB Glenmore underneath Macleod, at 10:30 with no one around me on an open 4 lane road. They guy was handing out tickets like candy, and I went and got me some.

People coming into the office from Airdrie said that their drive was two hours. It was a cold one, but I'm glad I'm only a 20 minute walk from work. Though I really need to get winter boots now.

A friend of mine has the same vehicle with Nokiean WR's (which are all weather) and he runs them year round and they work great. It's a tank on the snow.

Yah, from Country Hills to 32nd Ave, it took me about an hour and 15, so I'd imagine people coming from Airdrie would take 2 hours. My KW19's pulled me through today's drive a-ok! Gotta re-emphasize my love for winter tires.

I received a text message this morning informing me of the conditions. I have yet to look out the window. Self employment does indeed rule.

Took me about 25 minutes to get from Anderson onto Deerfoot north this morning. But after I got past Southland it was wide open and I got to work on time. I felt bad for all the people stuck on Glenmore east when I drove by, that road looked F'd in the A.
