True... except maybe

places with lots of snow; no reliable snow plowing

People have dag tunnels under snow whenever tall enough. And then they just walk. People usually use Kamchatka, Russia as an example of that, but it happens in other areas as well. Well, that's the extreme; normally once again people just walk on top. If you are careful enough, you can avoid getting snow in your shoes even when stepping on loose snow. Most of the time you don't even have to deal with that because (at least where I live) people just silently all agree to shovel out snow on sidewalks they own. On city/company/nobody owned property, "desire paths" of sorts appear rather quickly. Personally saw lots of cyclists on snow, and actually much less cars for obvious reasons.

Well, all of that assuming you are not in north america lul

And what do the disabled people do when the only way to get anywhere is to trudge through the snow?

You mean, the wheelchair kind? People all around will just go "neuron activation" and help. Where do you live where that's not the norm? Except maybe at night but it's on them if they decide it's a good idea.

OR upgrade to a scooter.
