Snow Tires Whatever

Instead of having snow tires, I don't.  Instead of parking my car in my garage, it isn't.  When I dropped by a friend's house, it was slightly raining.  When I left her place this evening, it was snowing. Her steep driveway (totally similar to mine) was just too much for my van (yes, it finally left the repair shop this afternoon!) to handle.  There are many things that I love about Utah. The snow is not one of them. Setting aside the fact that I simply prefer warm over cold, it's just so much cheaper to live in a warm climate... say Tucson, AZ for example.  A bathing suit costs ten bucks, and you can wear it all season.  Snow clothes cost way more, and the good gloves alone cost ten bucks (and get lost within the week almost every time.) Add in snow boots, warm jackets, hats, scarves, bibs, etc... and that's just more money than I want to spend on winter.  Maybe heating a home and cooling a home are sixes, but I don't remember ever being "heated in" like being "snowed in." Now to snow tires.  They're like expensive. Not like gloves but like half a grand expensive. Meow, Meow too much money meow (I do the budget and I don't want to budge.) Ryan is an actual grown-up, and tells me to just go buy snow tires. He's right.  He often is.

Snow tires look like this, but there are four of them and they are all attached to a car.
