The way you describe snow driving - heightened sense of danger and subsequent situational awareness - is also what it's like to ride a bike all the time. I'm always shocked how much closer attention I'm paying than drivers, even when accounting for the lack of blind spots and sound proofing.
Thank for bringing this up. I remember in 2015 we talked about these revelations a lot after a series of storms here in Boston. We need to keep pushing.
Although you merely mentioned "liking cars," it's worth a query since it's close to the fundamental dispute. There are a few people who advocate banning cars from cities altogether. There are plenary possibilities between banning cars and the status quo of driving as 78% commute share and 95% of all trips. Can we start by creating a consensus that we need to regulate driving better than we do now and argue about the details later?

Sneckdowns everywhere here in Alexandria. Worries me when people are walking in the streets because the sidewalks aren’t cleared.
Yeah, the sidewalk situation is not great! I don't know where all the snow would go. I read that in NYC they have trucks that can melt it!
