Being further north does have some advantages. If the panels are angled more to get a better view of the sun they will also be better at shedding snow loads.
There was a recent discussion here on vertical panels. The data was better than I’d have guessed.

The amount of power you get from panels in winter is pathetically low with or without snow.
