How’s everyone doing with snow?

Had about 4-5" in the driveway this morning. Supposed to get another 4-8" between now and tomorrow morning. My $100 Craigslist used snow tires that I bought 4 years ago don't grip like they used to. I don't plan to replace them this year. I won't be driving much after the 2nd week of January due to my hip replacement.

I went to the other side of the state on Saturday. On the way home, I had a most dicey time in the Escape. Lucky I didn't hit someone coming down a long hill, narrow road with several curves. Couldn't stop all the way down. My all weather tires are down to about 4/32. Other cars seemed to be doing much better than me.
In case you are interested, they seem to be available for the Escape: https://www.nokiantires.com/tires/pa...weather-tires/

Santo Spandaro - Since he doesn't look down on us lowly MGA drivers - a friend of ours from the VSCCA.
A very nice video about him and his family.

Speaking of Alfas, did Marc C ever find an S2000 to his liking?

Are meteorologists getting in on this fake news action too now? Kept hearing how TREACHEROUS the morning commute was going to be today and it was just wet. Then the last "dusting to an inch" was six inches uptown in Troy.
