Back in the early 80's I used to quite like driving in the snow on the airfield until the fateful day when our trusty Land Rover went u/s with a frozen engine (so much for RAF anti-freeze!). I duly went over to MT and borrowed a mobile death trap - a Land Rover fitted with the anti-fod Bar Tread tyres.
I managed to get about half way around the peri track of the secret airfield (now inhabited by rocks) at about 5mph before the damn thing wouldn't stop or steer, it drove itself off the road and overturned.
I was then informed a rather irate WO i/c MT was on his way to inspect the damage. He also made the mistake of using a Land Rover with Bar Tread Tyres in the snow and only got about 200 yards before he too was upside down and shouting for help.
I seem to recall they reverted to normal tyres on Land Rovers not long after.
