Eurolights fare no better than any other light system in these conditions, 
unless you have the optional headlight washers.
I recall driving home from work in a bad blizzard here, a 75 km drive- had 
to stop every 10 km and get out my rag because the lights were so bad that 
they seemed to be switched off. That was my old 80, my 90q has the 
headlight washers and will fare much better in this respect. That is, if 
the washers don't freeze solid...
