That cat has got the crazy going on, big time.

Back in England most cats are expected to "go" outside. I was at my aunt's during a snow storm and one of the cats started mewing at the side door. We opened the door and the cat obviously didn't like what she saw, but my aunt booted her out saying, "Go on, get it over with." In a millisecond the cat was at the patio door, wailing pitifully. My aunt went to the glass door and yelled, "You haven't had time do your business. Clear off." We were in hysterics.

The only real difference between house kittens and their wilder relatives is the amount of damage they are able to inflict. We had cats most of my childhood and I don't recall them doing well with snow. My wife and I had one for crudely 20 years, and it was far worse with strangers than the Rottweilers.
 
All our cats have been hilarious in the snow. They all have rather "go" outside than use a litterbox, so when they went to the door, we let them out; they'd burst outside, over the dry porch and then freeze like a statue when they hit the snow. Then the fun began. With each step they took, they'd raise the paw and shake it to get rid of the snow clinging to it. It was the feline version of the hokey-pokey without music.
They'd quickly find a shallow or no snow place up against the house to go, and then hokey-pokey scurry back in. The funny thing then was the next time they had to go, they'd go to a different door, I suppose thinking somehow the weather would be different at that exit from their previous sortie. Do the hokey-pokey....all over again...
