Get snow tires.
Just like you should do with any vehicle during inclement weather, increase your following distance and drive conservatively (especially on curves and downhill).
The difference with a lightweight RWD car is that getting started on an icy uphill and going through deep unplowed heavy snow can be challenging. I keep a small shovel and small bucket of kitty litter in the trunk, just in case (but I've not needed the litter and only used the shovel once when I got plowed in after work).

And look at pretty much all BMWs. RWD and they are used to commute in German winters.
Although I kind of wonder how much the aids help for ice and snow?
