Brace yourselves - Winter is coming...

I've just moved jobs for winter, I no longer have to travel 80 miles a day...

Now the challenge is 7 miles a day, BUT...
I cannot have a single day off work when I'm on shift.

This means getting to work even if there's a foot of snow.
I live in the middle of the Chiltern hills in Buckinghamshire.

Options:
  1. Snow tyres
  2. Buy a 50cc road-legal scrambler
  3. Walk

I would love to hear your suggestions for some decent tyres for the Ten, tyres that will deal with Snow, Slush, maybe Ice?, and wet roads.

Or suggestions on how YOU cope with the snow.

Am I mad to take my lovely beast out in this kind of weather?


Regards,
Steve.
