Discount snow tires

See Severe weather terminology for a comprehensive article on this term and related weather terms.

A Snow Advisory is issued by the National Weather Service of the United States when a low pressure system produces snow that may cause a significant pain in the ass, but does not meet warning criteria. The advisory criteria varies from area to area. Snow advisories are typically issued only when a storm system is expected to only produce snow in the advised area. Depending on the amount of snow that is expected, a Heavy Snow Warning can be issued for similar times, but when larger amounts of snow are expected. The exact border between a snow advisory and heavy snow warning varies throughout the country. If other forms of wintry precipitation are expected, then a Winter Weather Advisory or winter storm warning can be issued, also depending on the amount of precipitation that is expected.

Low-rolling resistance tires are tires which are designed to improve fuel efficiency of a car by minimizing the energy wasted as heat as the tire rolls down the road. Frictional losses can account for over 80% of the fuel energy consumed by a typical car. Of that, approximately 5–15% is lost to rolling resistance.Low Rolling Resistance Tires (Website). Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of Energy. Retrieved on 2007-08-11. A 2003 California Energy Commission (CEC) preliminary study estimated that adoption of low-rolling resistance tires could save 1.5–4.5% of all gasoline consumption, but that current data were also insufficient to compare safety and other characteristics.California State Fuel-Efficient Tire Report: Volume I California Energy Commission, July 2003. Retrieved on 2007-08-11. A database of much more complete data will be released by the CEC pending completion of an ongoing study.Tire and Fuel Effiency California Energy Commission, June 2006. Retrieved on 2007-08-11. A separate study by the Transportation Research Board also found it unclear whether economic and environmental savings would be offset by shorter tire life.”Tires and Passenger Vehicle Fuel Economy: Informing Consumers, Improving Performance — Special Report 286.”, National Academy of Sciences, Transportation Research Board, 2006. Retrieved on 2007-08-11..

Fuel economy effects are greater for vehicles with hybrid drivetrains and technologies such as cylinder cutout.
Most hybrid vehicles are equipped with low-rolling resistance tires.

Auto manufacturers in the United States typically equip new vehicles with tires that have lower rolling resistance than their average after-market replacements, in order to meet Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards.

Snow Miser is a fictional character from the Rankin/Bass-produced 1974 stop-motion animated Christmas special The Year Without a Santa Claus. Snow Miser was voiced by actor/comedian Dick Shawn.

In the special, Snow Miser controlled cold weather all over Earth; his archnemesis is his half-brother, Heat Miser. Mother Nature was Snow Miser’s (and Heat Miser’s) mother.

Snow Miser was a giant humanoid creature, with the supernatural power to freeze objects at will. Snow Miser lived in a large ice castle, and was attended to by a host of miniature versions of himself. He defended his domain fiercely, yet unlike Heat Miser, was a gregarious, friendly, jocular sort, given to gales of laughter and bad puns about snow and cold weather.

Both Snow and Heat Miser sing a memorable ragtime style song introducing themselves.

In the 2006 NBC live-action remake, he is played by actor Michael McKean.

Collectibles

Action figures based on The Year Without a Santa Claus were produced by Palisades Toys in 2002 and included the Snow Miser, the Heat Miser and their tiny clone-like assistants. The figures are scheduled to be re-released by NECA in late 2006.

Trivia

In the movie Batman and Robin, Mr. Freeze (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) tries to get his henchmen to learn the Snow Miser’s song. A clip from The Year Without a Santa Claus is shown.

Chionodoxa luciliae (also known as Glory of the snow) is a small (3-6″) flower which grows from a hardy bulb and produces one of the earliest flowers of spring. Originally from Turkey, it is hardy in zones 3-8, sun or part shade. Chiodoxa seeds itself and will spread in beds that will later have other interest, like rose beds and so on.

According to the Royal Horticultural Society, the current preference in taxonomy (more accurate name) for this plant is Chionodoxa forbesii.

Daehan Tire Industries Co Ltd. (hangul:대한타이어) is a Tire company. headquartered in Seoul, Korea. established in 1990, has been supplying automobile inner tubes and flaps with high quality to Kumho Tires. by O.E.M method since 1991. also has produced retread tires for trucks and buses to domestic ＆ overseas markets since 1994.

Cold inflation pressure is the inflation pressure of tires before the car is driven and the tires warmed up. Recommended cold inflation pressure is displayed on the owner’s manual, the placard (or sticker) attached to the vehicle door edge, door post, glove box door or fuel door.

Meltywax was a brand of wax produced using melting snow. It was shortly available in New England in the early 1920s but was removed from the shelves pretty quickly since it never managed to prove the melting snow had any noticeable effect on the quality of the wax. Therefore the interest in the product shortly decreased and the company went bankrupt in 1924.

Lake Effect Snow Advisory is issued by the National Weather Service of the United States when pure lake effect snow may pose a hazard or is life threatening. The snow must be directly caused by a lake and not by a low pressure system. The criteria for this advisory vary from area to area.

The Tire Society is a professional body, specifically an engineering society, whose mission is to increase and disseminate knowledge as it pertains to the science and technology of tires. It hosts a two-day Meeting and Conference every year. In addition, it publishes a peer reviewed technical journal, Tire Science and Technology. The Tire Society was founded in 1978.
