I drove to work in all weather conditions in snowy NE for 50 miles each way for 35+ years with good all season tires and front wheel sedans. Never had a accident.
4WD and AWD are a big help for not getting stuck on hills in heavy snow. Icy roads are the most dangerous and tricky.
Experience with driving in snowy conditions is the most important factor followed by good tires and lastly AWD/FWD. Driving at a manageable speed, Keeping a safe distance to other vehicle, slow changing of lanes on highway, using the transmission for downhill shifting, proper steering of vehicle when fishtailing will go a long way to keeping one safe in bad weather conditions.
