That's hard to believe that 6" of snow would stop traffice that way...But a few inches will stop anything with summer tires on...Knowing the UK usually doesn't get a lot of snow, I guess it's excussable...But mates, least try some good all season tires...Those are not terrible conditions, not good, but certainly manageable...Good luck this winter!..

Do you have winter tires? I mean winter tires, not allweather or rain tires..

This is nothing in comparison to winters here in Latvia.

So get prepaired next time and dont blame the weather. ;)

That's what you get when you see no need for winter tyres, but see the need to get out when it snows ...

No issues for all smart people with proper tyres
