On the chain note...why don't more people who drive on the ice have them?? Deep snow, flood water....seem pretty logical..I have a 4X4 pick up now, lots of room for all my gear and that includes a set of chains....small price to pay for some serious insurance....

You're right about both the tires and the chains. This guy was on his stock all terrains, and they looked like they were the original tires - quite worn down. And as soon as this guy got off the path he was just plowing the snow. I don't know if chains would have helped him or not in that stuff.
Either way I should really look into a set for the Jeep...y'know, for all the less than intelligent spots I put myself into
