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.
Front wheel drive vehicles are only better in snow because the engine is locaed over your drive wheels therefore the force normal is greater in comparison to rear wheel drive where there is far less weight on them. Hence its not a matter of front wheel drive or rear wheel robot but a mattter of weight distrubution
