I live in Northern IllAnnoy, and never needed to call a friend with a 4X4 and I have never owned a 4X4.Funny though, 2rwd vehicles do have better control in snow when both wheels are not spinning at the same time. Hence, a locker really sucks on slippery ground. Traction and control are two totally different things, but if you have traction you definitely need control.
But then begs the question, if you are worried about snow and bought a 2rwd vehicle, then you bought the vehicle with wrong type of driveline.
If it's a 2rwd open diff vehicle, the only option is some really good winter/snow tires, and drive like a snail. Or, just stay home. Or, call a friend who has a 4x4 to tote you around.
In situations where you may think you need a 4X4, better drive like a snail anyway...4X4 may help you get going to high speeds, but it won't help you stop any faster... in fact you can expect longer stopping distances.
