is a front wheel drive vehicle better in the snow than a rear wheel drive vehicle?
A FWD vehicle has more weight over the drive wheels than a RWD vehicle under factory configuration.
If one adds weight over or behind the back tires it will increase the traction between the rear wheels and the road.
This combined with the fact that applying force to tires reduces traction, thus steering/control can cause RWD handle better in undesirable conditions.
So, no and maybe.

Ever drive a 1968 VW Beetle?
According to the weight over drive wheels, rwd drive is better camp, that should be the best fucking car ever in snow.
WRONG.
Front-wheel drive has some operational advantages, as well. With all that weight concentrated over the driving wheels, it offers very good traction on slippery surfaces at relatively lower speeds. Thus, front-wheel drive cars perform very well in snowy conditions, or on ice. People who live in places with frequent bad weather understand these benefits of front-wheel drive.
A typical front-wheel drive car will carry about 65 percent of its weight on the front wheels, so a major disadvantage of front-wheel drive is related to weight transfer. Under harder acceleration, weight is transferred off the driving wheels, so traction is reduced. Under harder braking, even more weight is transferred to the front wheels, so they have to do the vast majority of the work. Therefore, on a front-wheel drive car, the front tires and the front brakes wear out much faster than those on the rear. But, on the flip side, a front-wheel drive car, with all that weight on the front, will generally be very good at what engineers call "directional stability," or the tendency to keep going straight. This can tend to make a front-wheel drive car very stable at highway speeds during crosswinds, for example.

I've never drove a moped period. But I would put money on it that I could get through a little snow on the roads just fine on one.
You and I both know how people on campus drive. Half the people campus here are Asian and not a one of them know what a 4way stop is.

Well the kid I was thinking about in particular is from Missouri so he may not know how to drive.

Someone actually tried to drive a moped in the snow?

Yessir. Somebody parked behind his truck so he took the moped.
