As someone who lives in this part of the country and uses an ebike for nearly everything for the last 4 years, it can be pretty annoying. Especially when it's raining, as I'm going to get soaked and there's pretty much nothing I can do about it other than bring a change of clothes and find a place to warm up when I get to my destination.
I use these to keep my hands warm while riding: https://cozywinters.com/shop/bar-mitts.html https://cozywinters.com/shop/bar-mitts.html
I rarely use just the motor when I ride, and that helps keep me warm; I'm usually pedaling just as hard as if I were riding without a motor. The motor makes me much faster, and also a lot less of an annoyance to vehicles. :)

- beebmam 5y agoI use a fat bike, with studded tyres, with low inflation for extra grip. Haven't had a problem with any kind of terrain really, but I don't live in a place that gets super icy.
- deanclatworthy 5y agoMuch like cars, studded tyres are available for bicycles too. It’s a marginal cost. Only hassle is changing them, if you want to use the same rims.
