It's all really specific, based on where you live (region, street, and topography) and where you regularly drive.
I drove a RWD car through 7 winters and did OK, but I won't be doing it again. There were too many days when I ended up snowed in, or needed a ride home from a coworker, because my car was unable to make it home through deep snow. Getting started on an incline in deep snow with RWD is pretty damn hard, I don't care how good a driver you think you are. I would say if you live in the city where it's usually well plowed and you don't have lots of hills, or if you are Ok with cancelling meetings or hitching rides with others if you have to, then go ahead with the RWD in the snow. Otherwise, it's no contest, AWD is much better.
