It sounds as if you are still cautious ... I'd be willing to bet that the people in collisions around here during the snow storm were either not cautious and/or were under the impression that their 4WD/AWD/FWD vehicle would get 'em through no matter what....

After all ... I got home in one piece ... even with the RWD in the SAME weather conditions as them.....

AWD/4WD isn't an absolute insurance policy, it helps but again it isn't full proof. I have seen many people in AWD/4WD vehicles drive like its a normal day (During a snow storm or icy conditions) and end up in a ditch or wrecking their vehicle. Especially people who drives SUV's. I remember one guy in an Cadillac Escalade think that. In these conditions you always have to be cautious.
For example, when I usually pull out of a parking lot I floor it but in such conditions I don't or I will go skidding. No matter what wheels are driving the vehicle you can still lose control and the driver needs to know how to handle the vehicle to prevent such problems.
