This is a normal post I think it's precisely because heavy snow is so rare for most of us south of Berwick
Also why so few people use chains; we just don't need them often enough to buy them, much less faff around putting them on.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've just had an idea for a 12V heater that I can put over my air vents to clear the windscreen faster. For some reason my car ices up on the inside too.

This is a normal post Don't arse about with extra heaters.
Stick a dehumidifier or two under a seat and always drive with your airco on.

This is a normal post It’s not so much whether they’re worth investing in
But given that it does snow, it’s that failure to learn any sort of lessons like it’s stupid to drive in snow without em. I had a fair few snow days living in London, which is a fair walk south of Berwick. I lived with nurses, and casualty was full of geniuses who thought it was a splendid notion to ride their bike to work through this strange and unknowable white substance in the roads

This is a normal post Well
I rode in today but it took a very long time what with the constant getting off and pushing when it was too icy. I was frankly astonished at the number of people on skinny tyres who went roaring past at speed though. I've spent long enough in surgery not to want to come off my bicycle again, thank you very much.

This is a normal post Forget chains...
Those tyre socks you get at Halfords are the bollox. Put them on my VW Up! last time it snowed properly in the midlands and was driving round stuck 4x4s. They are honestly brilliant and well worth the money to keep around, and they're not destructive to the road or driveways either.

This is a normal post Not seen those before
Tempted to get a set to sling in the garage as my road is on such a slope that half an inch makes it unpassable.

This is a normal post Yep, pretty good stuff.
Not a long-term solution, but handy for getting caught out. Lucky to get them to last a week though, and don't leave them on if you get to clear tarmac or they'll be torn up before you know it.
