Nice pogies - took me a while to work out what they were

They’re Rockbros. Not too expensive. Got them on Amazon.

Fitted a snow tyre to the rear wheel to add traction and it worked well
Then on the downhill from work applied brakes and realised that the additional grip should have been beneficial as I skidded along
Now have snow tyres all round
I did that one year - but, possibly because you had already mentioned that, I was very aware that I only had rear end grip.
Also important not to only do the front wheels - else the rear can easily overtake you.
