I just drive on it; with a set of chains in the trunk.  Turn off the traction and stability control; and learn to drive with only 2%
of normal traction.  It can be done.

Of course, now I live where it never snows; but "back in the day", I would routinely go out driving even when the state declared
martial law and didn't even try to plow the roads.
