It seems to take the good citizens a few days to remember how to drive ( assuming they knew how in the first place) in the rough weather or to get their rear ends to the tire store to ge their snow tires mounted.

I am no less likely to be in an accident in the car, just less likely to be killed.

Forecast for this week is temps down to -18 / -20 *C range - so I think I will drive this week and get back at it next week.
