point #1: NO vehicle not wearing studded snow-tires will be good on ice.
point #2: in heavy snow (+6 inches) the best vehicle is not necessarily a 4x4, but rather something with really skinny tires (cuts down through the snow to the pavement below) and decent ground clearance. best I ever had was a 1980 Ford Fiesta with 12" tires.
point #3: a 4x4 truck may be able to drive through snow well, but that does NOT mean it will stop in the white stuff any better than any other vehicle. I cannot count the number of times I've seen SUV drivers in a ditch because they didnt realize this. my advice to them: slow the fuck down!
