People mock RWD in snow but as proved by my own car it's fine provided you are both careful and are prepared to invest in decent winter tyres. A Dolly though already has nice skinny tyres and little torque or power so nowhere near as bad as a Merc/BMW.
I am constaly amused by the the scores of abandoned RWD German cars I see in the snow as a drive effortless past them. People pootling and skidding in their euroboxes look at me as if I am insane but I'm comfortable in the knowledge that I have significantly better grip and braking than they do. Don't get me wrong you have to be careful but it does make some roads look very easy.

Re: driving dolomite in the snow/ice
Haven't had the Dolly out in the snow, but judging by how it handles rain and light frost I wouldn't want to take it very far.
