I noticed that a large number of units in the '42-'45 scenario start out as being set to static for the Axis. Is this something I should be doing to survive the blizzard, or will it not matter much? I did read the manual, and see that it frees up trucks, units dig in faster, etc, but will it help stop the soviet onslaught at all?

It won't help you survive the blizzard. Although it does give you more trucks.

If you do set units to static, make sure you save AP's. As you will have to retreat along you entire front during the blizzard and it costs AP to active units in static mode.
