Title: Heat Wave!
Post by: Thorin on December 17, 2016, 08:41:59 PM
It's warmer now than it was in the middle of the day, and the temperature is just gonna keep climbing all night. Tomorrow we'll be near-melting! Yay!

Also, I came across this website earlier today: http://www.ratemytreads.com/

It actually rates winter footwear's traction abilities based on empirical tests.

We have been in a frequent freeze thaw cycle out here, has been kind of nuts for icy conditions. Also pot holes have been forming like mad.

Still very warm by Edmonton standards however..

Looking at the full list they tested, basically everything failed in the casual category and the few recommended that passed passed only by the minimum rating.
