As a kid back in the 50s, we lived in the Mountain States. RWD worked for us then, and the tires didn't compare to what's available today in terms of traction in the cold.
The principal difference between RWD and AWD is getting away from a dead stop in low-traction situations. Knowledgeable drivers with RWD do their best to avoid circumstances that could leave them unable to get the car moving.
