I got studded tires on Sunday!!!
I am SO excited. I've been just dreading the cold, because last winter was so horrifically cold. But now that I have studded tires I can't WAIT for ice and snow.

And, now that I have studded tires, the forecast is rain and upper 30's for the next two weeks. I'm convinced this is my fault. If I hadn't gotten the new tires, we'd have snow tomorrow.

My goretex rain gear worked like that too. I ordered it during an unusually rainy fall. By the time it arrived the rain had stopped for the season. I didn't have a chance to ride in the rain again until spring. I mean, it did rain, and I did ride, but every time, it let up before I was out in it. I concluded that the goretex worked by keeping the rain off of the entire area.

So...looks like we're in for an unusually snow-less winter, all because of my magical studded tires!
