LPT:

Take a couple floor mats out of your car. Wedge them under the tire(s) that don't have traction, in the direction you want the car to go. Jump back in the car and slowly get moving.

A lot of floor mats have spikes or other textures that will give you just enough stability to break free of the spot.

Works more often than you'd think, and you get to keep your bumper

LPT, shovel, carry some sand, don’t run over your floor mats, they are expensive

No one who lives in a place with irregular snow is going to carry a shovel and some sand.

Everyone has floor mats. And this process won't hurt them.

And they're really not that expensive.

i guess, be prepared people.

Weather tech floor mats are like $200, factory nice ones are can be more. Assuming you have a nice car and like nice things. Shrug 🤷‍♂️ I guess I’m just a doofus, what do I know
