My situation is a bit different. I do office/furniture design. I normally don't have to travel that much for work but then I married an American girl. She got laid-off in Calgary and went back to South Carolina. So I made a proposal to work about remote working 2 weeks each month. So that's what I do now. I make sure all my in person meetings are taken care of while I am in Calgary and then head down south to work remotely for 2 weeks. It is actually easier than I thought it would be. I do a lot of web meetings with screen sharing apps that work just fine. I'm headed down there again shortly. Got to say even though they have also had a shitty winter it is so much better than here.
Hence why I have an ad up looking for a room mate for my house here in Calgary.
