We were lucky up here Rob. We only got snow, but 15" of the white stuff! First big snow storm we've had since 2010. I'd rather have the snow any day than the ice though! When I worked for the power company, we used to worry about possible ice conditions coming  due to outages everywhere.  They were looong a$$ days, sometimes turning into weeks to get things restored!  Don't have to worry bout' the phone ringing off the hook anymore now that I'm retired.  Yee ha!    Still had to plow and shovel it though.....

I find that plowing/blowing snow for the cattle and feedway often makes the problems worse: It creates a smooth, level surface that can be more slick when it freezes solid, and holds water like a skating rink. I find the best thing for making routes to drive through the barnyard is to break some bales out over the area I need to feed/drive, without trying to plow/blow. The cattle will trample and compact the snow as they eat. The compaction from their hooves will make the area accessible to walk/drive on, but also keep things rough enough that it doesn't become a skating rink when it freezes solid again. The bits of hay they leave behind also freeze into the compaction from their hooves and help give some traction
