Mr. B
The 911 with winter tires does very good in the snow. With summer tires, see Le Chef's response.

Drove many older 911's in the snow with all season tires and they were fine. Drove my son's S4 and my 997 in light snow in cold and couldn't keep either on the road.
Tires make the Difference, I would not hesitate to drive the C2S in snow with all season or winter tires!
