The long-term forecast shows some flurries here and there, but no real snow for another two weeks, so I'll get a few more days on the three-season tires. Winter's running late, which is fine by me.
My studded tires came out and were mounted on my commuter for tomorrow morning's ride. Today I hit an ice patch that I didn't expect and almost lost it. Fortunately, I was able to keep it upright. Tomorrow, I take no chances.
