RWD does not always fail in snow. I live in Indiana, and also go to Canada often to visit family, and have done this with my Acura NSX in heavy snow quite often. Even lowered, I have never been stuck when I have my Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires mounted up. My M3 with snows was fine too.

This will be my first winter driving on snows so I really cant comment. The whole setup was about 1700 dollars including tire sensors.
