Take THAT, Mother Nature.

Snow 0

I'd like to thank my lord and savior Cooper Tires, salt, and the almighty Mercury Marauder.

:bows:

And now I surely will burn in Hell.

I was driving from Boston to Atlanta last Friday, and got hit by the quick blizzard coming through CT - got over 3" in about an hour, completely took my by surprise. I was able to get the MM (on Coopers) off the highway, up an offramp and into a gas station with little problems. Was very impressed with how it did (though, I WAS just a little bit nervous...)

We had rain for 8 hours, freezing rain for a couple, then 4-6 inches on top of that. Messy, but the not the worst for driving.

We're supposed to get 8"+ tonight... I took my snow shoes off and put the Nittos on two weeks ago... :(

It's tempting! I have a feeling though that with the amount of people that usually count on extra income in the winter from plowing and the city budget for snow removal being full, the streets will be pretty good fairly quickly. :) Should I do a review of Nitto 555s in a Noreaster? :P

You would not be the first with a 2 ton S/C sled.

Ok, you were right. It's only about an inch of heavy, wet snow and I can't drive five feet. :( Snow=1, Nittos=0. :D
