Is the snow done for the year? Time to unleash the car?

So I'm still rollin' around in my POS winter beater. Do you think it's ok to renew insurance for my regular car now?

If it snows again I'll have to stash it back for another month, but this time I'd be paying the expensive insurance for nothing.

What do you guys think? Have you guys put your nice rims back on yet? Still riding steelies? Still got snow tires on?
How much longer you gonna be in Winter Mode?

I just want the general view

You do know that we're only one month into Winter, right? We often get snow right through the beginning of Spring.

Haha yeah but after that crazy December I would have hoped we're all "Snowed out" and yes it's still cold but no more snow?..
Wasn't it last year that we didn't get ANY snow until February?

why do every year we need like 3-4 threads on when its good to go back to summer mode... there was the "when to go back to summer tires" (like last week).. now the "summer car"... im sure there will be a couple more soon... "when to use my summer jet?"

when do you guys think its a good time to start wearing shorts? ankle socks? going to the beach?..... use your thinker, before you tinker

why do every year we need like 3-4 trolls on when its bad to start a thread about going back to summer mode... there was the "when to go back to summer tires" (like last week) that you already trolled.. now the "summer car"... im sure there will be a couple more soon that you can troll... like "when to use your trolling skills to post another useless comment in another thread?"

Not all of us sit on RS 24/7 reading every thread. The other thread was last week so it's definitely not on the top page of threads.
I guess I could use the Search function and type in .. 'Summer' or 'Winter' (?) and sift through 50 other topics instead of just asking a simple question and get it answered without such irrelevant input. Thanks.

..... use your thinker, before you tinker <-- Amen

We got a bit of snow last April for a few days there. I remember because it was 3 weeks after my son was born, and i was driving my mom in from the airport.

And it's definitely colder this year, so I wouldn't bank on us being "snowed out" for awhile. Radio called for flurries tomorrow actually.

I don't get why people with two sets of tires are so eager to put their summers back on... I mean you might as well use your winters... it's not just for the snow. And really, I laugh at the guys rolling around in their 19 inch 35 profile summer tires in the winter.

Keep it off the roads for now, the weather is still unstable, warm and cold, up and down on the scale, I'd just hold off on it and stick with the beater. I'm tempted to bring out the summer(wheels) myself, but if you have a beater car just stick with it, with the conditions like this the risk doesn't only come from you, it's others around you, over/underestimating the conditions.
