rear wheel drive cars are usually not great on snow, but with the right knowldge and right chains and such you should be fine, just dont expect to go very fast or get in any powerslides haha goldenstatecars.com

Yes it has stability control, also you better have all season tires. Just because a car is rwd doesnt mean you cant drive it in the snow that car has good weight distribution plus stability control which means it can be driven in the snow with no problem as long as you have good tires. All BMW's, Cadillacs and Mercedes have RWD as well and they can be driven in the snow with no problem.

No. It wo not move. Even 1 inch is almost impossible to drive in. And rain is slippery.
l would rent a car for the trip. An SUV or a Subaru/Audi car.

It should handle snow just fine if u drive careful. Be careful on the throttle when starting from a stop, if the tires spin let off the gas. If u start to slide turn into it & let off the gas a little. DO NOT let pressure out of ur tires! this will cause the center to bow up reducing the ''footprint'' (which WILL reduce traction), & allow snow & water under the tire which could cause hydroplaning. It could also allow the tire to overheat where it contacts the pavement seriously damaging the internal structure of the tire.
l grew up with RWD & have driven in over a foot with no chains & no accidents, use reasonable caution & u should be fine.

Of course u can. Rear wheel drive cars, if driven properly r just as safe if not safer than front wheel drive cars. l would recommend just as on any car, good tires & for drivers in areas that receive large accumulations of snow a dedicated set of snow tires. l live in Denver & have driven primarily rear wheel drive cars for most my life. We have been taught unless we have Onstar & AWD that u r not safe. Wake u sheep! FWD & AWD cars create a false sense of security, making drivers more susceptible to accidents. What do u think people did before RWD? Lexus, just as BMW have create sophisticated stability control systems that riveal AWD drive cars.
