Live in MN. Never have used chains on my tires. We also frequently get the whole ice under snow thing here. We have to deal with icy roads in the cities even when it doesn't snow because it is cold enough to freeze exhaust and cause black ice. One of my cars has almost bald tires and I can still get through the snow and ice. Remember ice melts with salt. Unless your temps are below zero which I doubt they are. It is really effective.

Bully for you!

However, the reality of physics will tell you that multiple vehicles in motion on ice will (and in fact does) very highly increase the probability of said vehicles colliding with both each other and various surrounding objects.

Of course the presence of ice will increase the chances of people colliding due to loss of traction caused by the ice. Thank you for stating the obvious. What is not so obvious is that if you know how to dive on the ice and leave proper distance between you and the vehicles in front of you you can avoid the vast majority of collisions. If you drive the same way on ice that you would in normal conditions then you will for sure end up with a crippling amount of traffic issues.
