It very much depends on your loved ones' needs to drive in all conditions at all hours.
Do they work in health care, emergency services, critical infrastructure, etc. and need to be at work any day, any time of day? Get AWD. City plowing especially can be spotty.
Are they retired and/or do they have jobs where they can work from home or take off during severe storms? Don't bother. It's been about five years since the freezing rain/snow/lack of plowing combination was so bad that people were trapped for an entire weekend.
Until recently, I had a FWD Ford Focus and had trouble on all seasons in winter, but getting winter tires fixed the problems I had with going uphill in the snow. I have the option of staying home in severe weather and I use that option to make room on the road for people who work in critical sectors.
