Well, of course. Good snow tires are far more important than which wheels are driven for a car's snow capability. Given equal tires, 4/AWD is best, followed by FWD, followed by RWD. Yes, a RWD car with good snow tires is very capable in the snow (plenty adequate for most people's needs), but FWD is still preferable. Clearance is also important if you ever need to drive on unplowed roads - as soon as you start dragging the bottom of the car in the snow, it's a lot harder to go anywhere.
