80% of your answer lies in the (winter) tires imo

I’ve heard this before but never lived somewhere with enough snow to make it worthwhile.

Why Subaru? Any added benefits besides all cars come with 4 wheel drive?

Depends what "tons of snow" means, but in general a 4WD or a FRONT WHEEL DRIVE are fine. Snow/winter tires are key.

Moving to Rochester, so tons of snow, definitely will look into the snow tires.
