In my opinion, snow and ice traction is more a pull function than push. Having a front drive axle (alone or in concert with a rear) is almost always better.

WTF? Push, pull, doesn't matter.

Weight over the drive wheels. That's it.

Christ. It's an opinion. You don't have to be a dillhole about it. 😕

Actually, IMHO a RWD platform with enough weight over the drive wheels is superior in the snow, because it will be a better hill climber, but braking won't be very different on the downhill sections.
