Last time I checked Germany has plenty of snow and severe weather during the winter, and I have yet to find a sticker on my 911 that says "summer use only".

I think the question is not whether it would be ok to drive, but why would you. I am sure that 991s all wheel drive system is better than my thirteen year old open diff, Toyota 4runner 4 x 4, but i personally would never want to put my Porsche through these weather conditions. There is just no fun in it. They throw gravel where i am, and it's impossible to find a car without a cracked windshield, even if it's not cracked it's pretty much sandblasted and impossible to see out of on a sunny day. It comes down to a personal choice i guess. I chose to store my C2 and drive a beater in the winter. The neighbor in his 997 didn't.

I drive mine in any weather, and it gets treated like any regular car. I bought mine to drive it, and that is what it is doing.
Already scored a new windshield
, but in my book, battle scars make car more real.When I get me a Murcielago some time in the next two years, it won't be treated any differently either. Snow, dirt, and normal roads.

if you have enough money to not care if your new 911 gets hit, sprayed with salt, etc, then why would it be stupid to drive it. If it gets messed up, you go buy a new one.
