Grew up surrounded by mountains and snow that piled up and covered windows . Chains worked. The first thing my dad taught me when I drove on public roads was how to put them on. (I know. They claimed chains tore up the roads). And remember when everyone had two sets of tires? Winter and summer. And remember hanging a light bulb over the carburetor (I think I am remembering the part right) so the engine would turn over next morning?
Old timers up here would shovel out hot coals from the stove, put it in a large cast iron frying pan, and shove the thing under the engine block. I did do that once, when it had gone down to 30 below during the night, and in morning when the sun came up, it was 15 below.
