A dedicated set of winter wheels and Hakkaa will get you where you want to go and you will feel very secure in doing so. I travel in northern Minnesota often and i get in some pretty crappy conditions at times, I have never felt that my front drive car with 4 snows would be a limiting factor on those roads.
I agree with RBatch that awd or 4wd is a lot of weight for not much if any more security. I pulled out of our driveway last winter with 15 inches on the ground I stopped to close the garage and then drove off into the blizzard with not the least bit of hesitation. I did not get stuck, I just plowed thru, and this was in our viggen.
Go for the snows, and Hakkas are the way to go.
