It was a bit early Hullio, but you will be alright since your tires are All seasons even if they are well worn and you also are piloting an AWD

We got a tiny little little skiff of snow on Saturday night, nothing since.
They're calling for just 1 cm for us today mixed with rain, and rain for the rest of the week, so I think we'll be OK here.

Oh, yeah, I remember, it's snow covered here and Karen has an out of town appointment early this morning.
I'm glad the X is still sporting her winter boots.

Drive safe guys. I'm hoping we're out of the woods. Vehicles got their tires switched up this past weekend.

today could be as much as 25 cm here in some parts of southern Ont.

David Philips knows what he's talking about when he said: We can get as much as 10% of our total snowfall in the months of April and May!

Be careful out there everyone.

Colin.

Well I just returnrd from out of town. Karen had a Drs App't and it was a 40 mile drive each way. That wet snow was horrid. Visibility was zero in spots, and we saw at least a dozen vehicles in the ditch. That white wet stuff grabbed the car a few times and threw us around a bit.

I finally came to realize that I would be totally insane to even consider dropping the X at all. I was plowing snow with my front spoiler and bottoming out constantly on the way home. I was actually concerned I might have damaged the front spoiler. I checked it as soon as I got home, thankfully it was okay.

But what the heck, THIS IS CANADA, and I still love her Those people down south in the warmer climates don't realize all the fun they are missing.
