Can they be used to cover a concrete path in winter? Would they provide grip in very cold weather and can you shovel snow off them?

Was this helpful?I live near Orlando, FL and I would like to place these tiles over ugly ceramic tile on an open patio. Although we aren't near the coast, we do get occasional strong winds from storms in the area. Are they sturdy/heavy enough when joined that I won't have to pick them up off the lawn every time there's a storm or would I have to adhere them to the surface?
The weight of the interlocked tiles will prevent them from moving, but it may be a good idea to adhere the tiles on the sides to the subfloor with a heavy-duty double-sided tape just to be safe.
