For the last 40 years, my winter mantra has been:
1 wheel drive,
2 wheel steer,
4 wheel brake,
... using good snow tires.

Granted, there are hills that beg for 4WD... or chains or studs. Guys running the local "brisk speed" night rally series all run studded snows, and the top guys with AWD/4WD... plus they practice. Folks go off, but that's what the sweep car is for!

Have fun,
Frank
