I did the entirety of the 4 years in Moses Lake and Spokane, WA with only a set of "snow tires".
You folks take care and stay warm.

Ted, your Washington experience was in the neck of the woods that I grew up (Okanogan). I think it was in 1978 that we went skiing at Mt Spokane and it was -22F. I don't recall any wind other than when you ski downhill you create your own wind chill. Alot of people stayed in the lodge to stay warm. I was one of the few on the slopes. Most likely I had my Insulated coveralls on, but even so, it was still cold. It was a bit of a journey getting there, plus the cost of the ski ticket, so dad gumit, I was gonna ski!
