I've  sometimes lowered the tyre pressures when we've been about to drive onto a  very soft/muddy  'site and it has helped..but that was dropping it down to around 15 psi(..when I initially just dropping it by 10-15psi, it didn't make much difference, in our case).

I've no idea how beneficial it'd be on snow though...once the tread is packed full of snow again, presumably it'd be back to square one?....minimal grip?

I'd want to be damned sure that I wasn't going to end up sliding it into a ditch or a gate post....especially when it's only going to the garage to have work done anyway

(..it'd be totally different if you'd been caught out, away from home and you needed to get back.....).

If it doesn't look like clearing, I'd just phone the garage..(besides,you never know, you could  risk getting there, only to find that some of their blokes haven't turned up anyway, as they are snowed in at home!)

Our local LIDL do snow chains for £20.

Don't forget if you get it out you my not get it back in with the brakes going down the same slope.
