Drive-
Arcade, Tank, swerve, [4wd], [2wd].
Coming from someone who lives in a snow- and ice-plagued area, front wheel drive will probably work better than rear-wheel, with all-wheel being ideal. I would definitely not recommend swerve drive this year.
You are correct that it is more limited than past years, but there are still plenty of options.

i would say, that having FWD with rear wheel steering(if not AWD with front wheel steering) would be good, because you can use the brake feature on the jaguars to lock the wheels
