Snow getting into places won't cause rust, it will melt and behave no differently than if you drove in the rain, salt is the enemy and we northern folk have to deal with it all the time. When there is a chance of salt that is usually when we put our teeners away, as far as that type of driving, we do that on the way to the grocery store! First storm of the year there is always a few fender benders especially people with a couple of years on their all season tires. I have participated/taught in a few winter driving programs and it is a blast and actully does make you a better driver, you don't get freaked out when your car loses traction in the rain for eg. Ya gotta love winter where I live cause if ya don't then you shouldn't live here!

Not quite. Water from melted snow has less surface tension than rain water and is able to penetrate smaller cracks in your undercoating or paint that rain water can't.

But i agree, the real enemy is salt!
