They make these things that are basically long zip ties with nubs on them that you can strap to your tires. They are supposed to give you traction in a pinch. A bit late for this storm, but it wouldn’t be bad to have in your trunk for an emergency. I haven’t tried them myself I admit, but it has to be better than nothing.

I’ve tried them. Didn’t last more than 100 feet on fresh snow before bursting open. You need actual tire chains.

If it holds long enough to get me unstuck from a rut, then it would still be worth it to me
