If you want to avoid getting stuck in the snow few things you have to think about.
Traction? Good studded snow tires will make any car amazing on ice, ok on snow and junk in wet and absolutely horrible in the dry. AWD will bring new confidence that usually doesn't last long if your on bald tires or summer tires.
Ground Clearance? Even if you have the tires for the job what happens when you can't get over that giant snow bank.
Final Answer? For something you wont kick yourself about and the most bang for your buck get a set of studded snow tires leave them in the garage and mount when !@#$ happens. You'll get through 90% of the BS on the road. Why waste the money?
If she is stuck on getting something new I'd endorse a good awd merc.
