Do I Dare??

[bdhsfz6]

First day of spring and the long range weather looks to be mild here in the northeast. Do I dare take off the chains? I've got a lot of work to do this spring and the chains have to go.
The last time I took them off this early was in 1993. Two days later, we got hit with a blizzard and 32" of snow!

Should I risk it? If I'm wrong and we get another blizzard, I'll have hordes of TBN members on my back for sure!

Took my plow and chains off yesterday. I'm in Northeastern Connecticut . Long range forecast did not show any thing major. Last "big" snow I recall this late was on April,1 1999 or 1998. About 15"

May 1 is when snow tires and chains come off is family lore in snow country… too often false spring followed by late snow…

I suspect that "Murphy's Law" will apply. If you take them off it will snow and if you leave them on it will not snow.

Would the chains help at all for possibly being in mud or will you be on hard ground, concrete, etc. where chains are detriment? That would assist me in the darned if ya and darned if ya don’t decision.
