Looking at 2-4" tonight in CT. It'll stay cold all week so it'll be refreshing to have snow around...

Looks like a couple inches fell here (north and west of Boston).

Of course, they started plowing around 4am. Thunk. Scrape. Beep-beep-beep. Thunk. Scrape. Beep-beep-beep.

The school I teach at got a 2 hour delay out of this. It makes me laugh, that Ice event, which was actually much worse and had a lot of area schools cancelling didn't even draw a delay for us. Sometimes it's hard to figure out!
We only had 3" in this one! WE NEED MORE!!!!!

Not much new stuff up here. Looks like we're going back into the deep freeze this week.

What brand and model snow tires?

I recently got BF Goodrich Traction T/A which are more of an all-season tire. So far so good.

I purchased Cooper Discoverer Mud and Snow. I have a hard to find 16" tire size.

The snow storm today 1/15/04 produced only about 2 inches here in northern CT. I still can not test my snow tires!

You do realize the fact that you bought new snow tires is the reason we're not getting much in terms of measurable snow, right?

Got about 2" as well last night.

I'm driving on tires that should be replaced! Don't the snow gods know that? Give me a good storm so I can see just how bad they really are!

Inch by inch it is adding up, but we NEED a good storm!

Ah a Saturn Vue--an SUV. That makes sense.
