We've been getting one good snow per week for the last few weeks. The area I'm in doesn't normally get much snow. This is only my second winter riding a bike, and last winter we had an ice storm.

I keep putting off buying studded tires, because I figure I won't need them most years.

Today, even though the snow has stopped, the snow has been blowing across fields making horribly slick spots on the roads.

I've had enough. I placed my order for two Schwalbe Marathon Winter tires. I ordered direct earlier this morning, and they've already shipped. Let's see how long before I get them.

I'll report back once I've tried them out.
