What trainers are you wearing in the snow to get enough traction to stand by your car long enough to squint?

Because I am experienced in all manners of travel I have adopted the tennis racquet and bunjee cord approach.. you see.. when we have a problem with the car... we fix it...we don't put it into vw because we worry about our service history.. and we apply the same approach for real life.. I even have salt shakers attached to each tennis racquet to apply salt as i walk...
