["The problem here .. the city grades the roads, but that actually makes it worse, as they are very slow to put sand on the roads. It is actually much worse than driving on the snow covered roads["

Same in Winnipeg. We affectionately call the street grader a "Street Zamboni"
Polishes those roads so nicely that the Yaris (and any other car) is like a curling rock

Winter tires? I have no issues with plown streets. Better than getting stuck.

I have winter tires.

The challenge is at -20 the ice becomes very hard, and if graded it is literally a skating rink. At -10 no problems as the salts softens everything.

You get used to it and adjust your driving accordingly.
or you end up in a snow bank, or around a pole.
