Tim's Tip of the Day

Surprisingly the snow cleared up in the first week of November but we are looking at 60% chance of rain misxed with snow tonight and 90% chance of the same tomorrow. There is nothing to say but get used to it. Consider winter tires for your vehicle and drive with extreme caution on the ice in the next few days. (Click thumbnail to see full size.)
