I'm seriously considering RWD for my next purchase. My sense is that with modern traction control tech and good winter tires, RWD can get it done under all but the worst of conditions.
I've driven RWD with snow tires, it's the best. AWD adds weight and poorer gas mileage. You're way better off with winter tires and RWD than AWD with all-seasons.
