Most of us in SoCal don't live in the snow, but when we go to Big Bear, Tahoe or Mammouth, 4WD or AWD cars don't need to mount chains whereas 2wd cars requires that you put on chains. You're never more than an hour or two from non-icy pavement in California. The snow is just in the mountains and the passes, not everywhere like in the East.
I agree 100% that FWD is better than AWD or 4WD in serious snow conditions where you already have snow tires mounted. With AWD you go off the road faster! 4WD or AWD shouldn't be used until the car won't move without it, that's the proper use of that technology in challenging conditions.
P.S. Brrrrrr...it was 47 degrees out last night ;-)
