Had an emergency last night

Had to take my wife to the hospital in the midst of this winter storm.

Thank god I swapped to my snow tires the other night.
Matter of fact, this is the first time im using them.
What a world of a difference they made. Despite me being the only one on unplowed roads, it felt as if there wasn't any.
I wasn't speeding to it like you would probably see in the movies but, if I had my all seasons on. I wouldn't of even pulled out of my driveway.

Snow tires are worth the investment. Never know when a situation like mine can occur.

btw, I got a bit over 9 inches on the ground.

she's almost 6 months with twin boys and had a hard time breathing yesterday.
Seems they were pressing up against her diaphragm which is normal.

We're back home now.

My expert guess would be with money.

Glad you made it ok! Brings back memories of a similar trip to the hospital with wife in labor with my first son during a snow storm in Pittsburgh. I watched a guy spin out into the median in my rear view mirror as I was traveling down a snow covered I279. My wife kept telling me to slow down!
