You guys from SoCal, Arizona, New Mexico, Florida etc. don't count. I'm in Illinois. We have plenty of days when it is dry but cold. Even if we had a snow, once it melts and we have a rain to wash the salt residue off the road it should be OK.
Now, if I lived in Buffalo or someplace where there is always 3 feet of snow on the ground I wouldn't do it, but around here more often than not it is pretty clear.
I'll even have to avoid the rain for a while, considering my trunk drop offs are still "ventilated."

 

I'm in Massachusetts, and I'll drive mine anytime if the conditions are right. The main problem I have is that my street is very shaded and the snow/slush/salt sticks around long after the main roads are clear.

 

If there is no snow on the roads I will drive it all winter. First snow storm and it gets parked.

In 1993 I was driving my '69 in the snow because I know how to drive in the snow. I was at a light and a minivan couldn't stop and rearended me. I haven't driven a classic car in the snow since then.

I only worry about the other drivers.

We use sand on the roads here.

 

If mine was drivable..... But we will drive my mom's 68 since the heater works great and it's fun to drive!

 

yes anytime.never alot of snow here for the most part unless ice then as 73 Sportroof said its the guy driving a $200 beater that cant drive anyways that scares me

 

why dont we count

 

Uh, no snow and ice? Maybe we could ask the SoCal guys if they would still drive their classics if there was a chance of an earthquake? Oh wait, that's everyday, isn't it?

 

im in Illinois too, but she wont be on the road this winter. i dropped the car off at my dads warehouse so i can start my winter suspension/steering/brakes project.

but yeah last winter if it seemed that all the salt was washed off the roads i went out from time to time.

 

I live in SoCal and drive mine all year, even in the winter. I also live in the mountains where we get snow and ice and have steep hills. With good performance snow rated tires, and a LSD/Locker type rear end, you should be fine. My 67 manages to get places around here that a lot of people in 4x4's can't. It's mostly in the tires and not having an open diff. A lot of 4x4 cars/trucks have open diffs, which is worthless as a screen door on a submarine. In stead of ending up with 1 spinning tire in the rear, you get one spinning in the rear, and another spinning in the front. Wooo.

Btw, with the tires I have the car does VERY well in heavy rain and ice storms.

 

I took my plow off so I won't be driving mine.
