Gotta go to Madison, WI. Its a nice place in summer but winter, you
godda be kiddin. I always wanted to sail on those two lakes but I'll
take a rain check till summer. Finally found my old parka, gloves and
such. Has the water turned into that bizarro state called "ice" yet
there?

What are you blathering about? Winter doesn't even start for another month.

Actually, global warming can mean more lake affect snow. The cold air
picking up moisture from the warmer lake water.

Lake affect snow in western NY, it means you could get 4" or 4 feet!
Usually substantially more than 4 inches!

Flurries here today. that means everyone gets into a panic about installing
their winter tires.
My son will pay for four...mounted on steel rims for our Dodge Charger, but
the Ranger makes do with a couple of sandbags over the rear wheels for
traction.

My kid's still got 4 winter tires cluttering my garage. The car they
were on needed them after he lowered the suspension, but it's gone and
the rims are too expensive to just junk.
Thanks for reminding me to get on his case about that.
He'll appreciate it.
I never used winter tires in my life, but always tossed a couple
hundred pounds of sand in the trunk of my RWD's, 400# in the pickup.
Works wonders.
Same when "pushing" somebody out of a snow. Easiest way is to get 4
guys standing on the bumper. But cars don't have bumpers now.

If the tread is good, get the tire sizes and put an ad in Kijiji or Craigs
List ASAP.
Someone would love to buy 'em already mounted on rims.
