What can be damaged by driving over snow?

Hey everyone, just wondering what can be damaged underneath the 8 if you drive over snow. My girlfriends, garage alley doesn't get plowed so in order for me to park my 8 in her garage I have to drive over snow. Basically I can hear things scratch under neath while driving really slow like the exhaust protector or maybe something else. So far I haven't seen anything hanging down but I'm afraid I can do some damage if the snow becomes hard and ices up. Is there anything I should watch out for?

Thanks in advance

You probably get a 'mouthful' up under the grill if it is too deep?

You can damage quite a bit if you get stuck on the snow and are a jackass (like the guys in this video)....
Exhibit A: Jackass and snow. :D

I don't think you should worry about damaging anything under the car from snow.
