With good snows on all four wheels fwd cars do pretty well in getting around in the snow and other slippery stuff. My Saab 900 with four Blizzaks worked great in the upstate NY winter weather, but with the summer tires it was pretty much useless in the snow.
I had an '84 Audi 4000s quattro which was unstoppable with snows on all four wheels. AWD gives you a bit more stability in emergency maneuvers, but FWD with traction control is just about as good.
Neither is great on glare ice; just remember the quattro equation:
4 X 0 = 2 X 0
