I'm anxious to put the 20's back on but i dont want to act prematurely. I would be pissed at myself if we got more snow and my wintersports were in the garage.

Your thoughts????
Hey man - good to hear from you. I haven't seen your car around the neighborhood lately and thought you may have sold it. Anyway, I would wait. I'm waiting until at least April. As you know, winters in NY can be completely unpredictable. I could easily see another storm coming in mid-late march and possibly another in early April.

I know, I know. I'm just anxious. My biggest fear is an April snow storm. I just dont want to wait til April. I'm ready NOW...

Good to hear from yu too. Saw that thread on your angel eyes. Pretty cool. That would be my next mod but I think I'm going for an 08 550i in about 10 months from now so I'll wait til then.

Mid March here at the latest.

I only put them on in January when the temperatures no longer averaged 20?C (ok, even 12?C).

If it gets warm, take them off. It is not a good idea to run them when it?s regularly above 7? C.

Some of the biggest storms on record in the northeast occur in early April.

I?ll work from home that day.

The beauty of an April storm is that the snow disappears very quickly due to warmer weather.

3 degrees F in the norther burbs this morning. Bitter cold and a couple of inches of snow forecasted for the next couple of days, so much for an early spring. Damn groundhog!

I'm starting to think that maybe that groundhog can't really predict the weather. What a lying piece of s.
