Where the Heck is the Snow?!

Usually I'm not one to complain about it not snowing... but I bought and installed my snow tires and rims at the end of October (Elbrus I08 w/Blizzaks), and it's been in the freaking 50s almost every day here in Maryland! Again, great weather, but I'm pretty sure that I'm destroying these tires...not to mention I could be cornering better with the factory rubber

I bought my snow tires last year and we only had a decent snowfall on one day.I wish I had waited til this year to buy them.Like you,I drove around and put 10,000 unnecessary miles on them.

Haven't had more than a trace in about 20 months. Granddaughter got a sled last year (almost 3yo now) and hasn't had a chance to use it yet - in fact she hasn't played in the snow yet.

Althought I have no complaints about not driving in it.

It's been colder and we've got more snow (so far) than what is usual for here. You guys need to move north (or trade places with me). Had a few -30C nights and nothing above freezing in almost 2 months. location: central/northern AB

One of the reasons why I went with All Season tires instead of winter tires. Here in NY we have only had one bad winter where we had 3 feet of snow with back to back storms. If I lived in Canada or in that vicinity, I would then put on Blizzaks especially since she is my DD.

I think everyone needs to take a lesson on Stratospheric Geo-Engineering.

Those streaks you see in the sky that most people will try to tell you are normal jet 'contrails'?

They aren't. They're nicknamed 'Chemtrails' - Barium, Strontium, Alumina/Aluminum...being dispersed daily by private corporations and the Air Force, all admitted, on record, videotaped and documented, it's a global operation to 'combat global warming'.

Only idiots believe in global warming, it's a huge hoax to install a carbon tax upon the world to further the transfer of wealth from the poor and middle classes to the elite.

Check out:

What in the world are they spraying?

Why in the world are they spraying?

Thanks for buying the tires you've pretty much made it that it won't snow now this year. Kind of like when I bought a snow blower, it sat for 2 years before it seeing any use. So again thanks.
