Where are you planning on riding that deep snow will be an issue?

Highly speculative just now but for a long time I've been considering the possibilities of riding Russian zimniks. Russians I've spoken to advise against going on the "bottomless snow" as they call it and deep snow here in England just covers your toes (twice in ten years - maybe) so I have no experience of snow.
Often the winter roads become overwhelmed with snow and will then be graded but so long as there is a solid and even surface underneath I imagine you can plough through? Like I say, never done it so I can only imagine.
Here's an idea of what they can be like:

Ice grip and traction seems no problem with these for tyres:
