word of advice, if you have any steep hills covered in snow on the way home i suggest making sure your traction control is turned off and you take a good run up at it, go slow or have the traction control kick in you wont be getting up it

that method always worked in my old E46

They get snow and know they will get it in bulk and for fairly long periods, so have to cope and obviously it becomes second nature to them and their authorities

Here, we sometimes get snow, sometimes it settles, sometimes it amounts to decent coverage. No-one is used to it or regularly has to drive in it and therefore have no idea of what to do about it.
