Yeah, FWD with snow tires is like 1000x better than AWD with "all season" tires.
AWD has a great plus for thrust, but in terms of stopping, which is where most "oh shit" stuff happens, the snow tires are what's meaningful.

It turns out that all cars have four wheel braking... Actually, unloaded pickup trucks don’t use their back brakes very effectively.
Everyone I knew in the midwest with a pickup weighted the back in the winter.
