Might be a good opportunity to spread the good news about snow tyres, i think i'm the only person in Yorkshire who knows about them:

I seroiusly don't think motoring organisations do enough to publicise their existance and accessibility, they're too busy trying to keep you indoors. Just get some steel wheels that are compatible with your car from a scrappy, fit the tyres and leave them in the shed until you need them. Not trying to be too preachy here but we're going to see more and more of these freak cold snaps because the climate is destabilising.
