When the weather is bad here, in the winter, I carry a bag of 'playground sand' with me. You can get it at Home Depot, et cetera. When you get stuck, you wouldn't believe how much traction you can get by throwing a handful of sand under your drive wheels. This will usually get you going, then it's back to slip 'n' slide, until you stop again. Then, more sand...

After about 10 times of doing this, it's time to chain-up!
