They don't do any snow removal at all on the MUP trails where I live. They usually look like the picture you show for pretty much the whole winter. Better find a route to work on roads.
Constructive idea: Swap out the clipless pedals for platforms for the winter. When the bike goes down, you can land on your feet like a cat instead of crashing hard on the ground.
Pipe dream: My ultimate bad weather dream bike would be a Surly Pugsly. Float over all that crap.
