Why is rear wheel drive bad in snow?

Rear-wheel drive is often less ideal for driving in the snow. In most situations, RWD vehicles have less weight over the driven wheels than a FWD, AWD or 4WD vehicle, so they will have more difficulty accelerating on icy roads and a greater possibility of losing control of the rear of the vehicle.
