Time for winter tires
I had been meaning to toss my winter tires a couple of weeks ago, but between being sick and schoolwork never quite found the time. According to my roommate the weather forecast on Friday was predicting a high of 17 degrees for Saturday, but when the time arrived that day was a touch below freezing. The temperature today is a little bit colder yet (roughly -8 degrees), and I awoke to a blanket of snow covering my car and the roads.
It wasn't a whole lot of snow, but enough to persuade me that I should swap my winter tires on in place of my regular ones. They definitely give a traction boost, particularly as my regular tires are on the lower end of the scale whereas my winter tires are relatively high end.

Nope. I've been onto other
Nope. I've been onto other things the past while (got back from school after 9pm Friday and most of the week I was burning the midnight oil more than usual). People to do it also are in short supply which means that it's not too easy to get done on short notice.
