I've put up with crappy handling slippery snow tires for over a month and no snow! 10-day forecast shows nothing but a few snow showers and mostly rain. I'm afraid if I put my summer tires back on I will jinx this warm winter and cause a massive snow storm. :D

On the flip side of that, here in colorado it has snowed between 3-4 feet around metro denver. It is unusual for us to get so much snow this time of year, usually we'd be getting heavy snow in march. The icepack on the side streets is so bad that i damn near tore the bumper off my 525 getting out of my parents' street and managed to put a small dent in the gas tank i just swapped in! Just send some trucks, we have PLENTY of snow.

this year, I still have not put any snow tires on the e34 or e28's.

Kinda hope stays that way.

I feel you. I'm wearing these winters down pretty quickly... they just wheelspin so easily :) I KNOW if I drop the alloys back on it will snow like heck.

I switched to summer wheels about a week ago after using snow tires for a month. So far so good... No snow for another week's forcast in Chicago area... Yeah, snow tires do not perform well and feels like I'm driving a Cadillac...

I have considered swapping my M wheels back on, but the cold rain and salt residue on the road make a nasty drive with Z rated tires.

Today in Montreal it is way above freezing, no snow, lots of rain and fog!

At my cottage, the lake is not frozen and ducks are still swimming by!

No sign of icing anywhere on the water, pretty sad season for snowmobiling up here.

Army Shovel from surplus store has gotten me out of many awkward positions in between driveways and the street where snow tends to accumulate, coupled with a slipping/failing reverse this makes driveways my new nemesis.
