My first 997 Blizzard.
The only thing that I really worried about with my old 996 and 993 was getting caught in a snowstorm. All those cars wanted to do on ice was spin out.
But after putting my T4S to the test in a pretty bad storm here all I can say is wow, what a difference. It stops straight on ice with the ABS going full tilt. Goes around corners with confidence. Even with the P-Zeros. This is a car that I wouldn't hesitate using all winter, anywhere.
Even trying to make it spin in a parking lot, it's very easy to recover.

Here is your exact quote:
"That's why I got a C4S, I'm at 6300ft and I'm going to use it. With all that salt and other stuff one might lose sleep. But I didn't pay the big bucks to look at it, I wrote the check to drive it."
Now you are
because of some slush!!! Give me a month or two and I will show you what a blizzard looks like. Not that wussy sprinkle of a snow shower. Boy you changed your tune after giving me crap

Grief, I never give grief. Who me!
We are supposed to get 8 inches tonight, which will render my T4S a Garage Queen until it melts which being a 100 miles from the Mexican border won't be long. That's why I have a Jeep Wrangler, because 997's still are not very good at Plowing through that.
My point is that this 997 far exceeded my expectations on snow packed roads even with the P-Zeros. So I won't be leaving it home when I have to go somewhere if there is snow in the forecast. As long as the roads are plowed I feel confident that I will get there in safety and style. The Jeep can stay home.
