I'd also like to make a point that it seems a lot of people with AWD in my area miss.

If the road is solid ice, not snow, AWD isn't going to help you much at all.

Awd can only help with turning and accelerating! Braking is just you, abs, and the lord

I live in a sunny climate (California), so I’m genuinely curious: would the solution to icy roads be winter tires? And does winter tire == snow tire?

I understand studded tires are also an option, but I think their use in this state is heavily curtailed or outright prohibited because of the damage they inflict on the road surface.
