I've driven every type of drive with every type of tire in pretty much every level of snowy road. AWD/4WD is only useful for getting up steep driveways in serious conditions. I drove a rwd sedan with winters for year in the Bangor area and never once wasn't able to drive somewhere or makes it up any hills on actual roads.

As others have said it doesn't help you stop or turn which the cause of 99% of snowy accidents.

I guess we just have very different experiences. Because I have also driven a truck/car FWD/RWD/AWD/4WD and have very much had issues in downtown Augusta driving up the hill past the courthouse until I engage 4WD or AWD in almost every snowstorm.
