We've had some warm temperatures here on the prairies the last couple of days, and it's mostly looking like above-freezing during the day for the foreseeable future [1]. So today I pulled the snow tires off the cars and put the "all-season" [2] ones on.

Please join me tomorrow in celebrating the semi-annual festival of Oh My Gawd Why Are My Knees On Fire And I Didn't Even Know I Had Muscles In That Part Of My Thigh.

[1] To be fair, this is about 5-6 days max. They don't bother to even try forecasting further out than that here.

[2] Really "three-season", if you live anywhere where it gets more than a handful of degrees below freezing.

@cazabon Summer tires already? Lucky you! Want to trade sore knees from changing tires for sore arms from shoveling stupid amounts of snow?

@Byronrabbit

I know, it's a little earlier than usual to be changing the tires here! We could - and probably will - still get some snow, but with temperatures above freezing it's not a great idea to be driving on winter tires; they don't like the temps.

And I shovelled lots this winter, thanks The pile on my front lawn wasn't the biggest I've had, but it was still 6-7 feet.
