You could be right about the snow continuing to fall though after they were parked. Though, I would say in snow that thin that the type of tire is probably far more important than the type of drive train. More about cutting into it to find the pavement than getting traction on top of the slick surface. Obviously the Audi would have the total benefit in the latter.

You guys will probably have more experience of proper snow (12" and above) than I will but given the little we see here I would reckon it's totally down to the drivetrain and a lot less to do with the rubber. Basically what I see here is a slippy surface, unlike compact snow which can offer grip in it's own right and where the choice of rubber can truly benefit.
Anyone else concur with that opinion.
