I moved here from Madison a very long time ago and still keep in touch with a few folks from there. This is true. The vibe is similar -- kinda liberal, kinda weird, seat of the state government, seat of the main university campus... but the winters are fucking brutal. It gets into your bones and there are weeks where you just can't get warm. People starting their cars and letting them idle for 10 minutes in the driveway just to get the heater going is a thing. You will learn the many uses for this thing and how fucked you are if it ever gets misplaced or breaks: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Snow-Brush-Ice-Scraper/dp/B071F6W896/
The worst part, though -- at least back in the day when I was there -- the only Mexican restaurant around was a pathetic chain called Chi-Chis.
If it sounds like I'm ragging on the place, seriously, I'm not and I do miss it. Never again for a place with that much winter, though.
Regarding winter, make sure you go out and buy a nice thick warm coat, as well as hat and gloves. Get an ice scraper with a brush for your windshield. Make sure you have a snow shovel even if you're just renting an apartment, as it's not uncommon to have to dig your car out once the snow plows block your vehicle in.
Do you have any more specific questions about the area?
I live in a very snowy area, and everyone I know keeps a handheld snow brush in their car. No idea what OP’s on about with a literal broom.
>Never seen the snow till now.
OP get something like this The brush is for any part with paint or snow on glass, the scraper is for ice on glass. Also make sure you've got a blanket and some road flares in your trunk in case you break down. You can also toss some cheap over-shoe crampons in there if you're worried about walking around on ice, though I never use the ones that live in my trunk. Some gloves with grip (running gloves with textured fingers/palms or leather gloves) also make driving when the car is still cold much more bearable. And don't gun the car when the engine is still cold, it's bad for it. I think people covered most other general winter driving tips in this thread.
I'd just get a cheap one like this and use a hacksaw or something to cut off the handle at the desired length.

Or a dustpan and brush combo and just use the brush:
