It'll cause problems and eventually damage the cooling system. So, bring the car to the garage. Then use a hair blow drier to melt off the snow and a snow brush scraper to chisel out the snow blocking the bottom grille. Keep the drier a safe distance to prevent damaging the surrounding ABS plastic, surface paint etc.

Bad advice? Hand car wash in cold winter? Isn't that bad advice?

I didn't say to jam anything into that lower grill. Did I?
