if you live in a location that has weather that averages below 50*F during the day for months on end, you need to consider winter tires...the RFs are useless below 40*F and start slipping below 50*F....

Go scrape up some of that snow and throw it into your cooler nola. Hey, free ice! Or, put it in a glass with some booze and punch and make a hurricane.

Seems that New Orleans is getting all the shit nola530,

Some say it has to do with the CO2's and for sure that's why I drive a 520d.

Exactly...the world is warming up and Mississippi was forecast to get 6" of snow...WTF? I think I read somewhere that we're heading into an ice age now and that we're accelerating that now because we're not producing enough CO2. Where's Al Gore????
