you can't drink on tarmac with the chains on, they need a cushion of snow to protect them to some degree

i only purchased my car in jan this year once all the snow had cleared, but reading other member's posts im getting slightly concerned that im not going to be able to drive in the snow. |

Mine was absolutely fine in the snow last year, as nick has said, snow chains are only really suited for very deep compacted snow, not suitable for use on the roads really. The biggest issue I had was getting cold hands whilst clearing the 8 inches of snow off my bonnet before setting off in the morning |

I parked my FL2 on my parking spot outside the office last year and it might have slipped and slide a little but it still came out, and that was on compacted snow which had turned to ice

plenty of room in the boot for a emergency supply of nappies and wipes if you do get stuck
