It will take longer than normal. I also advise staying off the roads/ ciy streets as much as possible. Ride bike paths as much as possible. Remember that bike lanes are not barriers. It is much more likely that you will slip and fall in the snow. Remember that inexperienced motorist may be sharing the road with you. Scary! I also find that pushing a larger gear at lower RPM is helpful with getting tracion when starting out. Instead o shifting down like you might normally do when coming to a stop, stay in the same gear, that way you won't spin out. Riding in the snow is a blast!
