Morning


Boy are they wavering back and forth as to snow amounts. They don't really know. So I'm just staying prepared for tomorrow. I am suppose to have a 1 o'clock lunch with friends in the northeast corner, just wait and see.

It's Saturday and a Nor'easter is raging. But still quiet in CT.

Good morning John and everyone else.
Glad I finally got the new tires on the back of my truck.

I was on I-95 North in Stamford at around 7 am this morning....., an 1/8th inch of snow on the road and two folks had already spun out. A Hundai SUV ran off the road and was on its side at the edge of woods. Sheesh!

Now 3 hours later there's around 2" on the ground, and the winds are startin' to pick up. They're talking 9 to 15" on the shore.

FUN WEEKEND!

We had Hannah's birthday party today and the wife was freaking out about rescheduling. Party went well and everyone is headed home. We probably have about 6 inches so far in Middletown, but it's still coming down pretty well. I'll be a little worried about my parents getting home and up their driveway. The people that clear it are not the most prompt.

Morning


Miles, I have the Toyo Open Country A/T's on the F250 and some place around 68,000 on them now. Drove in the snow yesterday and no problems. Went from Stafford Springs to Newington at 4 in the afternoon. Yes they are due for replacement soon, still the best tire for me.


We only got 3 or 4 inches here from the storm. I was woke this morning at 4 am by the guy hired to do my next door neighbors driveway with a snow blower. Started my Newf's barking and had to get up to calm them and get them out to do there business. I will wait until 8 like everyone else.

Today will be the full clean up.

Miles I got new Toyo AT's on the rear of my truck on Friday. They seem like nice tires. I could not wait to got the POS Michelin's off.

Not sure how many miles are on my Duratracs (Goodyears) right now but they consistently impress me with their performance in snow.

I've looked at the AT2 a lot but I like the more aggressive pattern of the RTs. I'd go for MTs again but they're just a little loud for me, my sound deadening project helped a lot though. I've got a lot of friends running the RTs and they say they're as quiet as the AT2s and excellent performance

A lot of my buddies in Colorado love the Duratracs, and the snow performance and longevity are their biggest praises.
