Sorry asking, but we dont have snow here.
More ice than snow.
In some countries salt is spread on the roads to lower the melting point of the ice.
Snow is actually fine to drive on. The problem in the UK is that is isn't really cold enough and any snow soon melts slightly turning to slush then freezes again at night producing an icy surface that you can't drive on at all.
