I'm removing mine in April sometime. In my area our roads have been closed due to snow as late as the 1st week of April and I live only 3 hours from Toronto. (besides I had surgery a couple weeks ago and I can't lift anything over 10 lbs for 8 weeks )

Way too many jokes come to mind re lifting heavy objects over 10 lbs., but because it's you I'll refrain. Hope you mend well Wayne.

I was thinking the same Sam. Wayne, that was just to easy. Get well.

As far as the winter tires go, they stay on until April for sure. March is very unpredictable.

Thanks guys for being easy on me I left my self open on that one . I had hernia surgery but it went well, it'll even be better when I'm on the beach on the Mayan Riviera in a couple of weeks. When I return (Apr11th) my winter tires come off.

I'm itching to do something but with the unpredictability of this winter, I'm thinking 1st week of April too before I take off the snows. Don't want to get caught with my summers on in a freak spring storm....

Keep your head down and be alert for swamp gas...

^ ...and looking out the window this morn' reminds us of why we don't really need to ask so soon.
A change by a degree and this could have just as easily been rain instead.
A pic on my way to work...I was stopped when I took it. Boy are the roads icy.
