What spring???

Legal Bill · 04-14-2018, 06:56 AM

Forecasts continue to show low temps in the 30s. It's April already!! I want to put my summer tires back on.

Figured I post this up so we can share our pain.

Put them on in February and swap back and forth 4 times like I did! It's fun

High 70's here, but it is going away tomorrow. Cold again next week. April has usually been a shitty month the last few years.

No worries! The orange psychopath has educated us! Everything’s fine. It’s just a “hoax” from “Jinah”!

ICE last night! ******* ICE! Dammit!

I finally put my summer wheels and tires on this past Wednesday.
As for climate change and all other problems, I used to depend on the orange man but now I turn to Mr. Cohen, who can fix anything for a fee, though only in the short run.
The down side of changing wheels and tires is all those damn potholes, which the bicycle tires and wheels made of butter do not like much. There, Mr. Cohen has no solution.

Who knows? For the right price, he might be able to "fix" you up with either...Which would you rather have, an icy morning or a stormy night?

Yeah, we have ice here as well....trapped on a sloped driveway with all season tires until the warmer rains arrives later.

Brutal, been a long one!! Weather permitting first weekend in May I'll be on the road. Weather hasn't been great, snow just two days ago..

ggggbmw · 04-15-2018, 11:28 PM

It has been snowing for over 48 hours straight, and we have over a foot of fresh snow on the ground. ARGH. Last weekend I had to do a track event on my snow tires!

They are finally predicting a run of consistently above freezing whether a week from now, but with personal commitments, I probably won't get the summers on until May. Geez that sucks. <grumble,grumble,grumble>

aaaaah · 04-16-2018, 05:48 AM

Put my summer tyres on on Friday when it was 50 and not raining. Ice storm Saturday night/Sunday morning... 40 now though?

Cumberlandjames · 04-16-2018, 07:24 AM

I got mine out of storage and back on the road but have only driven it 3 times because of the weather. I have MPSS and they don't like cold weather. Were having freezing rain today. Just lovely! Where the heck is this global warming?

Our weather has sucked as well but no snow.
