Well, I was out all day. Asside from people going like 35 - 40 everywhere there's not much worth noting.

That said, I think we're supposed to get a lot more snow overnight.

i drove w/ my summer tires last winter, and i spun like hell... but haven't really test out the snow tires this winter.. cause i don't wanna try any stupid thing, when i can avoid~ lol, but i might try going down the same slope and see if i can actually come to a full stop, without spinning 720 and go on the on-coming lanes...
