IMHO: RWD >fun than FWD in winter. AWD FTW.
However, above all else... good snows tires are the real answer. Traction is what matters most, even when your intent is to lose it. Makes its more controlable. Even "all-season tires" are just that.. better than a summer perf tire on snow, and better than a snow tires would be in dry hot roads. They're just mediocre, year-round. Balance.
Give me a set of Hakka's or Nordmans on a Subaru (their systems, pure mechanical or new-electric-nannery are some of the best out there.)
Gets me to work 60+mi each way on drifty hwys all winter and i can play all weekend if i want too. There's a reason i've owned over 20 subarus. Winter hits and Subarus shine.
Maximum safety, maximum fun.
Plus when the snow really piles up, its a different kinda traction you want under ya for fun anyway.
