Default ls1 engine surges and stalls

My LS1 has been surging at idle for the past 2 weeks. The check engine light came on shortly after the problem started. Put a code reader to it and came up with the codes P0174 ( Fuel Trim bank two condition) and P0151 (Heated oxygen sensor bank 2 sensor 1 circuit condition). The engine is burning very rich and my gas mileage has suffered by about 40%.The surging has now transitioned to an occasional stall of the motor when the throttle is engaged. Replaced the MAF and the problem still exists. Could it be the IAC? By the way, coincidence or not the problem seems to have started around the time it snowed alot in my area. I even got stuck in the snow a few times and had to be pushed out after spinning snow all over the car. Could there be a problem dealing with excess moisture? Thanks for the help.

Why replace the MAF when only one bank is affected? Depending on how impacted the snow was underneath, you may have damaged something......

I also have the same problem except my codes are P0200, P0300, P1153

It also only happens during snowy/wet weather. I think our wiring harnesses are exposed.
