Oh no!

checked the weather a couple of minutes ago, and they are forecasting a couple of centimeters of snow tomorrow morning. That's a little early for Montreal!

Now I get to see how the T1-R's handle in the white stuff!

lets just say, it's going to be an interesting commute to work tomorrow!!!

Yep, northern Vermont and New Hampshire are getting some snow right now. Personally, I love it. I'll be up there soon to play in it. Time to get out my plastic mountaineering boots, crampons, down booties, handwarmers, and Nalgene insulators.

Yahoo!!!! We're supposed to get snow in the mountains here in Maine tonight and just snow showers on the coast...

Trying to decide...put my snows on this weekend or go to the middle of November as usual. The ground is pretty warm still, but I'm going skiing November 11.

What to do...what to do...

How is the Mini on snow? I have a MCS here in Norway, and we get quite a bit of snow, but I've only had mine since May, so I havn't had the pleasure yet. Any rules on the other side of the pond about having to use snow tires during winter season?

I got mine in May also, but i'm sure it will be as good as any other FWD hatch. Just put on some good snow tires and have fun!

Personally, I'm going with Dunlop Wintersport M3's on the stock 16'' wheels, and looking forward to a big snow storm
