I never had a problem with a rear-wheel drive car in the snow. I grew up where it snows alot. I got my first front-wheel drive car after I moved to where it doesn't snow.
You need to drive carefully in snow, no matter what you're driving. Take it slow and anticipate your next moves. You can't dart away from a dead stop or hit the brakes hard to stop. Slow and easy and look far ahead.
Stay on plowed roads. No problemo.

Since all-season radials came out, I've never seen a need to buy snow tires (for me). I used to drive twice a week to a ski resort in a '75 Ford Granada with all-season radials. I never got stuck and I drove on unplowed roads once in a while. I guess it depends on how deep the snow is where you plan to drive, but for plowed and treated roads all-season radials will serve you well. Just remember, the key is to take it easy and anticipate.
