But we've just arrived back home with the horseless carriage in question -- even the steepest streets in Seattle were "bare and wet" by this afternoon, which was good enough. Above-freezing temps FTW!

I sometimes long for the days of evil steel pavement-destroying studded snow tires. Hey, I have a shovel in Seattle that I'll gladly rent for $100/hour. Free delivery for orders of 2 hours or more. ;-) I hear you on the tires. I sometimes long for the days of evil steel pavement-destroying studded snow tires.
