Gotta love our tires in the snow

I ordered my winter tires and 15inch steelies today. As I was leaving the shop I found a nice hill with a ditch at the bottom of it. The pics tell the rest of the story.

It hasn't snowed more than a light dusting here yet; but when it does, I'm ready. I've got the 15" steelies and snow tires on already.
