snow yes, more slippery conditions in the North East...NO! My 2wd was fine
on snow with some friction (as far as rear wheel drives go) but when it got
icy or very slippery snow it was crap.

It's relative...they don't compare to AWD or FWD under some conditions but
are better then a 2WD pickup truck with no weight on the back. Still doesn't
make a great solution where I live. Spun out in corners all the time if
extreme caution was not taken. I'd take FWD any day of the week over my 2WD
Westy.
