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.

So...looks like we're in for an unusually snow-less winter, all because of my magical studded tires!
I got studded tires for my CX bike several weeks ago. Yep, haven't needed 'em. Haven't put my snow tires on my car, yet, either. I don't think we've ever made it into Dec. without doing that in the 5 previous Winters with this car.

I have heard our local meteorologist say that the weather models he's seen are predicting a late, but brutal Winter season here in MI. I don't know how I feel about this. I'm happy that we have had an extended Fall after not really having any Spring...but getting walloped all at once is unfun in its own way, too.
