You do realize now that you took your snow tires off it is going to snow now, and you are going to have to put your snow tires back on for a day or so. It just always seems to work out that way.
Oh and as I recall it is California>Arizona>CT>Minnesota I do not care what anyone says it gets damn cold in Minnesota, I was there this winter, and the high while I was there was -5. Screw that I could not wait to get back to Cali for some 60 degree days.
