Home made snow spikes?

Planet X posted this:

"It's STILL snowing here in Yorkshire! But a few of us made it in. Fat tyres and MTBs all the way... with zip-ties around them to make snow-spikes."

Not sure exactly what they mean, can anyone explain?

If you try that, just pray that you don't get a puncture!

Thanks - I'm guessing that's only good for bikes with disc brakes?

Or coaster brakes, drum brakes, brakeless fixed gear riders and possibly spoon brakes.
