This really doesn't happen very often in our part of the world anymore.
In Cologne, a wet leaf is usually enough to bring traffic to a standstill, not to mention snow.
But the kids have fun! ...

In England, every time it's like the first time it ever happened!
All the "driver aids" in the world don't compensate for a complete lack of understanding of understanding of basic physics.
ESC, ABS, etc. don't make it safe for an idiot on ice or packed snow. Tyre pressure monitoring systems are a positive disadvantage.
Don't get me started on 1 Series BMW with snow chains fitted to the front wheels only.

Might be a pain living with it - but it looks fantastic! That's a lot of shovelling to get to the door bro!

No crocs on the Murray Q. Swan Reach SA
We stayed with a mate's Sister on a Ski trip to California a long time back as she owned a Lodge at a place called Bear Lake about 150ks west of San Fran. What an eye-opener that was. You couldn't park on the street because that blocked the Snow Plows so that meant clearing the driveway, BTW record Snowfall year resulting in 26ft of vertical drifts right against all the roads. Soon, I learned the Snow removal was bad enough but below that, if left long enough it became ICE. Much harder to remove and had zero traction to drive on up her driveway. We also got the word, that when we left and the heat got turned off we needed to drain the toilet cisterns or they would freeze and crack. It's fun to Holiday in Snow Country but so much work to live there. Later I heard she installed a heated driveway. Interesting Woman who grew up in Sydney but ended up having a long career at NASA running their reentry protection systems for the Space Shuttle.
