Just know how to drive. Last winter I was driving a Dodge Dart, front engine/RWD, with crappy tires, a 383 4-barrel engine (300+hp), with a 4-speed manual, and 3.91:1 rear axle gears with no power steering. This is in Canada, snow up to 8" deep. I could keep up with yuppies in 4x4s all day long, although gas was a big problem, haha.
Driving schools in your area probably have a winter driving course on skid control, etc that you could take and it wouldn't be very expensive.
Anybody who says you NEED FWD, or all wheel drive, or these gazillion dollar snow tires, or ABS to drive safely in the winter is a pussy. Remember, until the early 1980s 90% of cars were rear wheel drive and overpowered.
