I have lived in snow country (Wisconsin and the UP) for all but 4 years of my life. I have never owned, or even needed, four wheel drive. My truck does have the GMC locking rear end.
I do carry tire chains in my truck, and expect to use them once every year or two. It's not a big problem because it only takes 2 or 3 minutes to put them on.
