Having lived in Alaska for 20 yrs ... I've learned a few things about driving in the snow.

1. FWD will typically have more traction in the snow as compared to a RWD. Easier to PULL a car through the snow than to PUSH the car through the snow.
2. 4Wheel drive with locking diffs have more traction than AWD cars with open diffs.
3. vehicles with skinny snow tires have more traction than wide snow tires.
4. Nothing helps with ice ... Unless you have studded tires or chains
