Default hella snowed yesterday

usually if we do get snow its nowhere near this early and yesterday was crazy...
it snowed like a mother for about 45 minutes unfortunately none of it stuck and just made nasty ice
but still it was cool and fun

i'd rather not pay for heating my apartment yet, so, I'll be happy with the 60° days.

Green Diamond Icelanders > Studded tires.

They're recaps with silicon carbide 'chips' embedded thru the tread. As the tire wears, new chips are always there, so they don't get worn out like studs would. Another perk, you can run them year round if you wanted, and not be one of those ******** launching studs at cars behind you mid-june.

I as well got snow. it snowed from pretty much all day friday till all day today.
it was on and off. hella hard for 5 minutes. then stopped. then a little bit for a good hour or 2 then it would stop.
then just today this morning it hailed like no other and i swear there was half an inch of hail on the ground.
then it stopped instantly and then all melted..

wierd? but who gives a crap! it hasn't melted at tahoe yet!

Those green diamond tires look pretty sweet. If I lived somewhere icy like that I would definitely pick up a set for winter.
