Thanks for this thread. It was definitely my wake up call to get my act together. I also heard that there's a possibility for snow on Thursday and/or Friday. The other day I ordered studded snow tires for the trike. A few hours ago, I changed to studded and fixed the problems that I had with the DF because I'll be commuting with the trike for now. My plan is to use the trike as long as there isn't more than about 1" of snow on the roads, and use the DF for the deeped stuff.
