If snow is your only reason then get a set of snow tires on your vehicle of choice and a trailer hitch, and if you are really worried then get a set of tire chains, I've only seen a few extreme cases where 4 wheel drive does any good, but you can do alot with a small vehicle, good tires and a hitch unless you plan to be towing stuff while in the snow.
Either way, that EPA web site link above is a good tool as it lets you compare vehicles equally instead of comparing word of mouth opinions.
