A committee reports mixed results for near all season tires. Some show condition specific gains but overall performance does not match reinforced tire chains. Chains improve braking on snow and ice and increase forward traction, with reinforced links reducing skids on glare ice. Drivers must not exceed safe speeds with chains, and many still drive within dry pavement speeds.

Anne is an accomplished pianist and former naval inspector, while Eddy lost sight in both eyes in youth. They previously lived with relatives in Elizabeth and Waterbury, facing refusal from landlords who call Anne a blind burden.
