just like wrxs have VTEC. i uno man. cali is an awsome state. we have rules, but it makes everyone happy. lol.
The intercooler works just like a radiator, and I've seen quite a lot of cars in Tahoe with the radiators covered in snow. If it's completely covered, that's bad. If it's partly covered, don't sweat it and clean it off when you stop the car.
And remember, RE-92 tires don't do well on ice

Can someone inform me on why its so bad to get water into the IC? Wouldn't that mean that IC spray kits are bad as well? I would have figured that if you got water on the IC, it would probably help out on the cooling.
