    Darr says it'll be be fine on Thursday, but just cold. The weather office also says no snow, and high of -1C. Lets see who is right! I really feel sorry for those who invested in some nice winter tires and mounted them a month ago! what a weird winter!

    We had a good run of nice weather. I am not exactly thrilled about snow, but it might be nice for Christmas.

    it doesn't even feel like christmas is coming this year because there's no snow.
    It still feels like September (that might be why I'm not studying for exams yet, haha)

    I think it should snow overnight on the 24th, so that Christmas morning, you wake up to snow. Other than that...NO SNOW! Xcept for on the mountains of course

    True this weather is harder on our tires than regular winters, but its mainly heat that kills them, just drive with em on in summer and you'll learn that pretty quick

    Not literally half.more like 10-15% less tread..I dont care, there not even that bad for handling.and i'll actually be able to drive if and when the snow actually comes for longer than a day

    Man if the weather stays like this I will say bye bye to my blizzaks fairly soon! I hope to get 2 winters and I'll be happy.....

    Anyway, the snow will hit and will hit hard.....I actually enjoy driving in the snow......
