Snow is not the main problem, it is the ice you have to watch out for, I have driven in both. When the road is covered in ice, but you just have to be on the road, what can you do? very slowly and very carefully.
For a short period in Germany, we drove the runway of this very small US military air base in the morning to see the ice condition on the runway, before we went to the hanger, opened the huge hanger doors by hand, pushed the plane out to get ready for take off. I heard some race car drivers walk the course prior to race(not in snow nor ice).
