winter tires vs. studded tires?
I do both I have Blockbuster online, so I get my movies in the mail, watch them and then exchange them in the store for new ones. It is a great deal, I don't know how anyone could top that. I watch about 6 movies a week (sometimes more) for 24.99 a month. I get new releases (that are always out of stock in the store) in the mail, often the day before the store puts them on the shelf.
A lightning rod just sinks the current to the ground. Too bad, really; the energy contained in even a single lightning bolt is huge. But, even with 21st century technology, we have no way of handling that much energy entering the power grid all at once.
snow is slow knobbies are the best thing for it if it freezes to ice though you are going to need studs or stay home or crash a lot wle
