Thanks Paul, I'll give it a try. I think what I can also do is tramp a path with my boots so that my wheels will roll and I can get a start. 2many, you're not worried about pinch flats running as low as 25 psi? I weigh 170 lbs. (damn winter) and have 700c Nokian Hakkapeliitta W106 35mm.
I think the 106's are smaller than what I have, making the rim closer to the ground and having a smaller (shorter) air cushion. 40 psi is probably just right, 35 might be OK, unless the tires are bigger than I think.

What size are they?

My Nokians are 26" x 2.1" and, are on an old mtb with old wide rims. I have a bigger and thicker (taller)air cusion than you do so I can get away with less air and more weight without pinch flats.

Ride carefully tonight.
