I had a great little ride in today. Left home after lunch and realized I perhaps should've put the ligths on... It gets so depressingly dark here, so early... When I leave tonight it'll be pitch black, but that is expected.

Apropos nothing, is it bad for studded tires to be used too much before the snow hits? We had a few days of snow, but now it's all muddy, ruddy, grey again. No snow in sight unfortunately, and I'd hate to switch back and forth?
