I've been checking the extended weather forecast.

[apocalypsos]

Let me just say ... if the very first year I've ever had shiny new snow tires on my car, we never get more than three or so inches at one time for the entire winter?

I'm seriously not going to know whether to laugh or cry, since that was my big Christmas present and all.

EDIT: Okay, so my new theory is that my snow tires are creating an invisible dome over the Northeastern Pennsylvania region so that while everybody else is getting dumped on, only a few inches at a time are wriggling their way through and falling to the ground in a large radius around the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area.

I ... don't think that's how snow tires are supposed to help you drive in the winter. Well, unless tire manufacturers are entirely staffed by wizards and no one's bothered to tell me.

Climate change, man. We've only had to shovel once this year, and all down south where they never get snow, they're getting buried.

Climate change exists purely to spite you! This is proven *by science*!

Your tires are the magic feather of snow-prevention. We're in a drought here - maybe we should get you to buy a new swimsuit and some sunblock and come here down here for the sunshine? We could sure use the rain.

Just take your car to the car wash. It'll snow the very next day.

I need to know what kind of tires you have so I can get some.

It's preventive.

Carrying an umbrella guarantees it won't rain.
Driving the speed limit guarantees there's not a cop nearby.
Having snow tires guarantees there won't be enough snow to need them.
