the oil pan is pretty exposed, being rearward of the front underbelly tray. Some of the noise you hear is probably from the undercarriage hitting the hard snow, not necessarily any of the driveline/exhaust. For the most part, everything's pretty well tucked up underneath the car, unless you have a large canister style exhaust. I would think the most damage prone parts would be a canister and possibly the underbelly tray.

You might consider checking your fuel lines. They run under that flimsy black plastic shroud with the little loovers cut into it. They would bend and damage easily and they are on the bottom running along the floor board. I think a big piece of ice could damage it pretty easy
