winter conditions driveability : rear wheel drive volvos 700 1989

I have an opportunity to purchase, very cheap, a very fine 1989 740 Turbo wagon. My only concern with this vehicle is how it might perform under winter driving conditions: I live in a high mountainous area with plenty of icy roads and a significant winter. Will this car perform adequately even though it is a rear wheel drive? I figure the Swedes would not design a car which was incompatible with wintertime driving conditions. Thanks.
