I don't think we use much gas here in Finland, and we're alright in winter too. I think it's usually storms that cause power outages here, not snowfall. A quick investigation on Wikipedia kind of hints at Finland getting more snow in general than Canada, although apparently you get more snow in autumn, whereas here in Finland the heaviest snowfall is usually in something like January-February. Anyway, for the least densely populated areas, I don't doubt gas is a good choice, but if you need it even in more densely populated areas, I suspect choices have been made to favour gas instead of finding ways to manage even without it. It'd actually be somewhat interesting to learn what the history is behind our different paths in energy usage.
