You forget that snow tires help you stop. Sure, you can go fast using awd and crappy tires, but you can't stop. This winter, I had no problems in CT with my Viggen, and I went out in every snow storm. Granted, I have to "change tires," but it's only twice a year. For me, the extra cost, complexity, and weight of awd isn't enough to justify its existance. The only problem I had was transferring from a plowed road to a non-plowed road, which could have a foot or more of snow. Then, the low ground clearance in my car was problematic. But awd won't help you there, unless you want to go the SUV route.
