How good is an 1990s 911 Turbo in the snow?

Ive always wondered how well a rear-engine rear-wheel drive vehicle would drive in the snow...I drive a Infiniti G35 coupe now and have a great opportunity to buy a 1999 911 Turbo. With the weight distributed over the drive wheels...wouldnt it be better than an FR vehicle? I know it seems like a sacrilege to ever drive it in the snow but Im an ambitious 23 yr old with a taste for hp so I hope you all can understand my questioning

The 4 wheel drive early Porsche is not a full 4 wheel drive normal driving 95% rear wheel and 5% front. track driving is a different thing, the fluid drive is controlled by the amount of differential clutch slip caused by the heating of the fluid which controls the drive.
