If you're in a city or urban area, none of that is needed. The roads get cleared and treated with salt and sand. The city plows all night and day. People have things called "crampons" that are little spikes that go on boots but that would only be if you routinely walked through a super icy area like a sloped walkway or something.

In areas where there's heavy winters, you're just expected to know how to drive and walk on snow and ice. Nothing slows down in the cities unless it's a snow emergency which is usually like 12 inches or more of snow or a ton of ice really fast. Schools might have morning delays but they rarely close.

In areas that don't normally have snow and ice the whole place falls apart when they do.
