Default Niagara drive on Oct 19

I have an interesting drive mapped out in the penninsula that courses up and down the mountain past some interesting properties, a stop to sample premium and ultra premium wines, a blast through a long tunnel with an immediate right turn into Thorold and then following the canal past the locks to Port Dahousie and then past Niagara-on-the -Lake to the end point at Brocks monument and the Queenston Heights restaurant for brunch. Assembly point is the Stop 50 gas bar off the QEW at 50 Road at 10:30 AM and arrive at the monument at 1:30.

If my schedule permits, I'd be up for it too. Hope we don't need the snow tires by then!

You can never tell with Niagara. Ask me how I know...

Dan I don't think the issue would be as much snow , as it would be just getting heat in the tires. Mine are HARD as bricks when the temp starts to drop
