snow socks are meant to be good, BUT as with chains you have to stop and put them on PALAVA then stop in a couple metres take them off again PALAVA then stop put them back on again PALAVA

i had to buy some new tyres anyways, but i didn't get snow tyres because i thought it was silly, and i would try the just staying in bed until the snow goes away trick.

p.s. i tried driving in light snow again via a different route, i.e. not the hill and nearly came off the road twice and nearly in a ditch once....so hence hibernation is in order. my front tyres are a bit crappy worn, so i got some good ones off black circles dot com and will get them put on up dingwall tyres.

Don't put chains on radial tyres - When I was in The Fire Brigade we used to let some of the air out of the tyres when they are softer they grip better. Only go slow though untill you pump them up again
