Nonsense. I've never needed snow tires in all the years I drove in the Northeast. That's another misconception that Californians have. Snow tires won't save your *ss if you don't know how to drive in snow. I've driven through blizzards where the road was covered in a foot of snow, and never lost control of my car (and it wasn't a 4x4 either). > h) corpses that appear in the spring after that big snow drift in > front of your house melts No, just the corpses that get ditched in Oleander bushes on freeway medians that are discovered each spring when the road crews go to trim them back. > i) anywhere in NY in late August - September. Feh. You've obviously never been in NY that time of year. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
