Default Snowbirds?

How's your Crossfire in the snow -- I mean REAL snow?

Here's my situation: I have to wait for the job situation to clear up before I take the plunge (make mine a graphite Limited coupe). BUT -- ain't there always a but? -- the best prospect is in upstate New York, snow capital of America. Rural area, too, so the roads don't get the clean-up the interstates get. Up there, a foot in a day is not uncommon.

My last rear drive car, an '87 Peugeot 505 turbo 5-speed, was diabolical here in Detroit (on fresh all-season radials).

So, much as I dream of an XF on those rolling mountain roads, does sanity mean I should be looking at a front drive or awd car?

NOTE: When responding, please note:
A) Where you live (Texans will be ignored!)
B) Your tire type (all-season, summer sport, snow)

Thanks in advance!
