I live in PA. our winters the last 10 years have been VERY mild. prior to that we would get some doosies. Staying home was not an option if I wanted to be fed :-)

Same here. I've only been driving since 01, but I've never seen a road I couldn't travel with FWD. When snow finally hits, some idiot who paid $3K more for AWD or 4WD tries to "put it to good use" and wraps his car around a telephone pole. My cousin actually put his mom's WRX into a ditch after thinking he could take a corner by pointing the car in the right direction and flooring it. Not smart.
I like FWD because you can test your traction limits in the snow and it only causes understeer. RWD and 4WD cause your rear end to break loose, which isn't as safe.
I would have to endure months of awful winter before I'd consider AWD/4WD. Like SUVs, AWD is something a lot of people buy and very few people need.
