Snow in the UK is a different thing all together.
We're all on deep tread, metal carbide studded tyres up here. If we get a bit of snow early, and still have summer tyres on the car. We get the bus, walk, or get a lift with a better prepared colleague. Doesn't matter how many ploughs you have. You need the right tyres. Boils my blood when UK drivers blame the councils for not making it magically possible to drive on summer tyres on snow. If you don't want to buy and store a mad expensive second wheelset, for the one week of light dusting. I totally understand. But don't blame others when you can't get to work that week....
