3. How do we cope? We're used to it, so we're prepared.

Snow is always a PITA where cars are concerned, but the cities have efficient snow removal operations. If there's a lot of snow the city will declare a snow emergency, so you know ahead of time where you can and can't park your car, then you can move it ahead of the snow so the plows can come through. Once the street is plowed you can move your car back to the plowed location. That way the street is clear and your car won't get stuck. There are some tricks like raising your windshield wipers before it snows so they won't freeze to the windshield. Most people have a set of jumper cables and a snow shovel and a bag of sand or cat litter in case they do get stuck. And someone always turns up to help you push your car out of a stuck spot if necessary.
