Default Ground clearance in snow

Does anyone have any experience driving their B7 in moderate to heavy snow? Does this ever become a problem given the relatively low ground clearance? (3.7" if I'm not mistaken)

Default From B6 S4 land.....

Bring snow tires you should be good up to about 10-12" of powder. Heavy wet snow its kinda of an unknown, though it can handle a lot more then you might initally think.

I've driven my car with snow flying over the hood because it up above the bumper line. Its hard to do since its whiteing out your window as your drive even with wipers.

Default I found my B6 to be unstoppable with 17inch M3's, I went looking for trouble and only had fun

Damn nice pic. I can't wait for winter to start. I'm running M3's as well.
