I suspect most places that experience regular heavy snow, deal well with it.

I have a friend that went to school in Buffalo, NY. That’s a city that experiences “lake effect” snow, during the winter.

He says all the sidewalks are basically “snow gorges,” but the roads clear quickly, and everyone knows how to dress for the cold.

He tells me a story about visiting northern Quebec, one summer, and seeing houses with a second front door, set on the second floor, and was told they were “snow doors,” for deep winter, so folks can get out, when the snow gets deep.

We tend to adapt well.
