Back in the pre-PC days of yore, my Swiss Mother-in-Law used to say November the first is the day to get the furs out of storage... Come to think of it, if she were around now, she would still traipse around the graveyard on All Saints Day, flashing her foxes...
Studded tires - studded tires in Alaska. Which could be why many Anchorage streets have two rather impressive ruts all along the length. They did work however!

Or, as we say in British Columbia, "How good are these tires in the rain?" Snow happens here, but not like in Eastern Canada

Sorry - don't know why that appeared twice.

Oh, surely they don't specify that it's for the snow, do they?
It's meant to be one of our mysterious behaviours, that one. You're to ask if the snow tires are for the snow, and we're to say,
"Maybe it is.... and maybe it isn't!" and then play a little tune on our flutes and dance away à la the Scottish hotel owner in Little Britain.
and don't forget you have to sweep your driveway too!
we, in the u of k, will simply be whingeing and moaning that snow has fallen and we are NOT PREPARED.
Actually, we'd be saying "Time to put the snow tires on."
Sama: "Sweep" the driveway? Oh, you sweet, innocent thing, you... Bet you use hot water to get the ice off your windshield in the morning, too. Hee.
