This was what my drive was tonight. It took me 3 hours to drive a distance that normally takes me an hour and 15 minutes to drive. It was all very pretty, I must say, but it was a little annoying to deal with.

Oh, but my killer Gislaved NordFrost 5 winter tires ROCK! There was about 5 cms of snow on the ground with a little bit of frost on top as the temperature went down (and we melted the snow as we drove on it), and my tires were grippy (that’s the technical term for it.) I went up a rather steep hill at one point that had another car slipping and sliding around (obviously he had bald all-season tires because he was slipping even on the flat sections of the road), and I passed him! Once I got onto my relatively deserted street I did a few sudden stops & skids to see how the tires would respond, and man, they stopped me without sliding! They are phenomenal. I am pleased I shelled out the cash for them.

I leave you with another photo of the winter wonderland that was my neighbourhood tonight:
