In snow, a 4x4.
In ice, a 2x4 with a driver who knows what he's doing.
I've passed many a stuck 4x4 on icy roads with my car. It helps to have learned to drive in Jersey...

Good thing people have 4x4s in Oklahoma with all this snow we've been getting the last two years. Today included. 
I've had a 4WD for several years. For most driving a 2WD is fine but I have been very grateful to have 4x4 on a few occasions, the last being Snowmageddon a couple years back.
I made great money during snowmaggedon!! Thanks to my 4x4 !! Pull a trailer and skid steer with a 2x4!!!!!
Coming from driving several high performance cars with summer tires on winter stuff, if you drive smart a 2wd can get you almost anywhere. With that I have a 4wd now for a daily driver. When you work for a utility company you dont get snow days off, we have to still go into work like I did yesterday and today. Man has it been steady too....
I bought an avalanche for our house projects and dogs..... haven't used the 4x4 once in nearly two years. Got around fine in a FWD Honda during "snowmageddon" and I had to work almost every day. Glad I kept the Honda.
All depends on the driver. I can guarantee I drive better in winter weather in a 2WD than most people in OK do in 4WD.
That said, 4x4 for the fun.

I grew up in central Illinois. Never had a 4wd till several years after I moved to Okla. When I was a kid in Illinois, a bag of sand, a shovel and a couple friends was all I needed to bust snow drifts and turn doughnuts around town. In 1996 I buried a new 4X4 chevy truck (no snow but middle of a pasture after a lot of rain) to the point that the tow truck driver handed me a card with a dozer operators phone # and drove away. That one cost me $250.00
Amen, from another transplanted Yankee.
