Benefits of AWD for us in mild climates?

Aside from benefits like better traction in snow, moot here in Southern California, what are the benefits of AWD for someone in a mild climate, and are they enough to offset the lower fuel economy and higher prices I see on AWD versions of cars like the Audi A4 and the Infiniti G35 that also come in 2WD?
