Yes, but in the evening or the next day the ice is probably gone through a change of weather or salt is sprayed, or it's gotten worse and everybody stays home. Changing the tyres would make sense if there's snow and ice for a longer period of time, but it can always change suddenly here. Having a full chaincase, because of that weather, doesn't make changing the tyres any easier.
