Matrix - drive good in snow?

[Hark]

My daughter has a 2009 Matrix S automatic with the all wheel drive and recently got transferred to Northern Iowa. She is a little concerned whether the matrix will handle the 12+ inches of snow they routinely get in the winter. In Illinois last year we had one or two 8-10" snowstorms and she got along okay - but she lived and worked in the same town. Now she's got about 15 minutes of interstate driving to get to work. Anyone out there have experience driving the Matrix in really heavy snow?
