AWD is nice for deep snow and hills, otherwise RWD should be fine. Tires have come a long way in recent years. A 3 peak logo snow tire is the most important thing. The tire compound on those remains soft and sticks to ice much better than an all-season tire. And definitely don't be "that guy" on summer tires in snow.
Note that even with snow tires on, you need AWD or chains to pass a chain checkpoint in California. That shouldn't be an issue for you.
