Winter tyres desirable on a FWD Q3 ?

I am awaiting delivery of a new Q3 35 TSFI Auto FWD later this month . My current car is a 3 series BMW and I have used winter tyres each winter for past 9 years which are a huge benefit when we have snow although little need for them so far this winter . I was wondering if anyone has any experience of how a Q3 manages in snow and ICE with or without Winter tyres . I would obviously expect it to perform better than my RWD BMW but I have heard a RWD car with winter tyres will perform better than a FWD or even 4WD car on normal tyres . I am not surprised by this having seen how winter tyres transform my BMW's ability to cope in snow and ice . There is a good video on you tube showing a FWD caron winter tyres  managing to climb an indoor ski slope better than its 4WD equivalent on summer rubber .

I live in Scotland where we often get more snow and ice than further south .
