I drove my '66 two-door through two winters so far in the Washington, DC area. As mentioned above, a set of skinny snow tires and reasonable driving skills took me past dozens of behemoth SUVs stuck on the side of the road. Good clearance under the car and low gearing work fine in the snow. I suspect that the Swedish designers of the car had to take snow driving into serious consideration during development.

Salt is really what worries me most too. I try to clean the undercarriage whenever possible and hope that some of the external lubrication seeping from the valve cover gasket provides some protection.
