Default Stupid question - but I'm worried.

What's going on guys?
Alright so, one of my friends thought it would be a great prank to put my windows down while I was asleep last night and let my car fill with snow.
I just checked my car to find snow all over the inside of my Monte Carlo, mostly on the drivers side. It got all over the window/lock controls and all over the driver chair controls. I managed to sweep a good amount of the snow off before it could melt.
Now here's the dumb question:
Will the controls be ruined due to the small amount of snow on them or am I good?

Happy New Years!

You should be fine. However I would pull the mats out of your car and bring them inside to dry, and really let the interior dry as much as possible!!

If anything goes wrong, make your 'friends' cough up the repair bill.

yeah, they should be fine, snows going to get on them either way when it snows when you open the door and stuff it drops down, just make sure you got most of it out and like chibi said you may want to take the mats out because you dont want them to rot out and if you have a shampooer, if you get a day where its not so cold out, you might want to try and suck out any excess water in the floor

Is there a good deal of water on the floor??

Instead of heat, I would try to take something like a chamois that can absorb the water and take it out.

A couple weeks ago my cabin air filter stripping broke and leaked a ton of water into my car, I found by taking the time to use my chamois and absorb most of the water, I was fine

Nah, the amount of water on the floor is like equivalent to getting wet feet on the carpet.
