The point exactly - and the reason FWD has an advantage over RWD (in
general, you can always find exceptions). Most FWD cars have less than
optimal weight distribution with a front bias. This is a feature in 
the snow (probably for acceleration too as it helps fight the FWD
front end lift issue). 

Give me a RWD car for *limit* handling. Give me a FWD car for snow.
