Using fog lights is a good idea. Following a plow is a better idea. And a emergency snow kit.
In most U.S. cities in the snow belt 4 good tires would save your ass!
I keep my old winter tires from my 323 in the garage. Ready for the 320d when BMW finally brings it to North America.
Parking in a Montreal snowbank, before an army of trucks take it away. The entire city looks like the picture below. What you do is buy a used Jeep Wangler for winter. That way you don't have to shovel in and out of parking spots. And you don't have to worry about your BMW getting clipped by a plow, it's nice and warm inside. . Indoor parking is gold in this city.
