sweet little biddies , I love watching them peck around, it's so relaxing, mine are cooped up now, when its a warmish day I open the barn and even the old girls come flying out so happy! Then they see the snow, and go "wtf", if you listen closely they say it quite often.It sounds like "bawk bawk bawk", but I know their language and can translate.
Winter hardy breeds can survive winters just fine.
We have a 60sqft coop non insulated that houses 10 chickens just fine in USDA Hardiness Zone 5a.
you might find that chickens will refuse to walk on snow but if you clear it away enough to see some kind of ground or make a path of straw/hay, pineneedles, woodchips, etc they'll go out on that.
