Okay, it can snow now...
...UPS brought my Nokian Hakkapeliitta W106s today. The weatherman is calling for snow Thursday night and Friday. Prolly not enough to make mounting the Nokians worthwhile, except possibly just to seat the studs.
Anyway, many thanks to those on the forum who have recommended them. They look like a really fine tire. And hell, I wouldn't even have thought they made such a thing had I not read about them here.

I'm going to blame it all on TSL if it doesn't snow this year.

They also have a good sale on MTB Nokians:

This is the home of the Milwaukee Gunnar bike. A good shop by reputation.

I have skied at Titus mountain in Malone a few times before. I hate to say this but Malone is where my X girl friend lives.
