Looks like Buffalo and the northtowns are in for some pretty good lake effect snow tonight and tomorrow morning. 6-12" with heavier localized amounts. I already called the wife and told her we were probably carpooling tomorrow so I could leave the GTO in the garage. I was too cheap to buy snows this year. 🙂

It could be heavy, I don’t think it’ll sit downtown long enough to really get it going though. The lake is supppper warm though.S o it could be heavy.
Weird driving down in Southern Erie this morning. With the roads starting warm, the snow was very icy on the roads, even though it was super fluffy light snow.

well, call us up if you need snow tires and mounting and balancing. If anyone needs late hours I will do late hours tomorrow and the rest of the week so that everyone who can’t make it during the day can be nice and safe.

tup to hybrid dudes.
As for me and my rwd f150, i’ll be tackling it with all season firestones that are M&S rated, and have 50 percent tread.
Just installed the winter wiper blades, and just put 300# of sandbags over the rear axle. I might need a little more weight, will have to play it by ear.
BTW, if anyone has a RWD car for winter and needs sandbags, home depot is selling the 60 pound bags for 2.99 each.
