CL 600 (bulletproof) in snow

The car weighs about 6000 LBS and has ESP and snow tires...

So even with tires and traction control, is this car bad in snow?

With a set of good snow tires, you shouldn't have any problem in the snow, it's ice you need to pay attention to. As long as you drive safely.

last winter it has been snowing on and off for months. My coupe didn't have any problem getting anywhere. Just easy on the brake and gas. That's.

If yours is the Armoured one, then it is noticably heavier than a stock CL600 which weight at around 4700 lbs. But I am not sure about 6000 lbs. though. Even if it is, the weight should push the snow down enough for your tires to get traction if it wasn't the biggest winter storms you were in. With anything over 5 inches, stay home or take the truck.
