We called it "mushing" and you needed to have the right boots and to tuck your pants into them, otherwise the snow/slush spray from your feet would shoot right up the cuffs.
We would grab cardboard boxes, rub candle wax on one side of the opened box and with the snow and ice on the hilly roads around our block. We had a few of them.
I say "let it snow, let it snow, let it f%^$*)G snow."
This is mother nature's way of saying "Slow Down!", although the road conditions will do the same thing.
