The last time I used chains is when I was in Idaho in '75. The roads were all black sanded or salted, so it was OK until I stopped at my sister's house. I had come from Idaho Falls to Gooding, and when I parked the car off the street, the tires were just warm enough to melt into the snow, and I couldn't get traction. They knew I was coming to visit, but they were already at the bar. Jerry's Lounge and Café, if you've ever been to Gooding, Idaho. Since the streets were actually clear, I just threw the chains on the ground in front of the right rear tire and drove out, onto the pavement. Threw the chains in the trunk and went to the bar.
