I think you know the tune. Anyway, we getting pounded here today with the white stuff. This was my first chance to try our my new Blizzaks in real winter conditions. WOW, what a tire. From the area where I work you get access to the freeway via a bridge that crosses a railroad train yard. It climbs up and over it with moderatally steep grade. In the right lane at the enterance a truck was stuck. So we went single file past him in the left lane and then everyone stayed in each others tracks, leaving the right side open. I decided to see what the Blizzaks were made of. I dove into the right lane and punched the gas, and the car just jumped up ramp, through snow, slush and ice. Right past all the cars on the left, the rear end didn't even step out. It was amazing.
Out on the freeway most pf the area is three lanes and for some reason people where only usng the two left lanes. I pulled over into right lane again and drove by myself passing cars all the way home, with barely a slip.
Blizzaks are 'da bomb!!!!!!!!

boy I am jealous! We've had a bit of the white here a few days ago, but too less to mention. Gone already and nothing more insight...

We ended up with about 10 inches. It is all still here. We have not been aboving freezing since last week-end. We might make it above freezing this weekend, so it will probably all be gone in a few days.
