Ran right up the hill with just a little momentum from the street and I'm sure would be fine from standstill easing on the gas. All in all, pretty respectable.

But yeah, doesn't mean you can drive it around like snow covered roads are a race track.
Fresh snow is one thing. Packed snow/ice is a whole other thing. Especially wet ice or ice when ambient temps are near or above freezing. Just proceed carefully!
