Drove the first mile home from work after colleague arrived, with one chain on,felt strange so stopped and took it off.
Had a few problems getting home,had to take a run up at one particular hill three times before I finally got over the crest.
Journey took 90 minutes rather than the usual 40. Couldnt park in my own street though. If I had managed to get into it,I wouldnt have managed to get back out to go to work tonight.
Come 6.15pm - do the whole thing again in reverse.

or

depending on your preference and size issues..   
 
ps: no studs necessary unless you climb a too steep icy hill..

Perfect solutions Cem,but the snow will probably disappear tomorrow, and we may well not see any more until this time next year.

ok.. then instead of chains , buy 2 of these tires and get them ready on wheels.. put one of them instead of backup tire and the other in the boot , so when its necessary you can change tires and they wont disappoint you in urgent cases.. I use this technique for long time,  but then fed up with changing tires as here snows frequently..
 
ps: for braking you will have only rears so you must be slow..

boiler gave up the ghost last friday and continously dripping water , so I have to pump water every 2-3 hours to keep the radiators hot.. still waiting for the part.. hoping will arrive today..

I hope you manage to get your boiler fixed as it is turning much colder again in the Ukraine tomorrow -16 at night -10 during the day for the last few days, from tomorrow onwards -23 at night -15 during the day, by Saturday -28 at night and -17 / -19 during the day, with a cold north / north east wind from Siberia. 

Unfortunately, you will probably get the same cold conditions.

today boiler repaired in the afternoon.. its an old fart like me , so god knows how long it will keep up..
 
new models really expensive, cheapest starting from 400 £ and good brands around 1000£   no way..
 
and just checked the weather , show 4 days of snow continously.. wont be as cold as Ukraine but after snow it will be cold obviously..
