Good Bye Slicks, Hello Studs

I CAN'T TAKE ALL THIS COLD WEATHER. Ugh, and we've got this warm, gentle breeze blowing all the time, especially when I'm taking a nap on the grass. I hate it here.
Bummer about the snow closings up there.

So far there's under an inch on the ground, but it's a pretty thick slush/heavy snow, and it's supposed to keep on snowing thru out the day. The further east you go the worse it gets, north of Albany had an inch as of last night, and a buddy in Vermont said he had 3-4 as of last night.
All I can do is hope it switches over to rain.

I swapped my "slicks" (Transworld Cities) for the original Bontrager knobbies on my MTB yesterday. Had to push 'em through some wet, soupy snow this morning. This weather is bizarre.
Low altitudes in Vermont didn't get much at all. Right now I'm at around 150 feet above sea level looking at patchy snow on the ground and 48F degrees. I might ride home in shorts and no jacket!
