Over my experience with various cars, if you're in the snow, an LSD goes a long way on 2 wheel drive cars. I was able to drive my 350z on 275 rear summer tires in 3-4 inches of snow with its crappy LSD. It was not fun, and there were numerous times where I was driving at a 45 degree angle and almost landed in a ditch, but I made it home. I'm actually surprised what the car was capable of.

In my opinion, with RWD as long as you have anything other than an open diff and actual snow tires, not winter performance tires optimized for cold dry/wet grip, you're going to be okay. With AWD you can get away with less optimized tires, just need to be mindful of stopping distances and take it slow. But AWD with snows are tanks, especially Subarus.
