Are sedans a viable car choice in Juneau

Hello. I moved to Juneau relatively recently. I didn't need a car where I was living before, but I've gotten sick of not having one. I had been thinking about getting an SUV both because of how weather can affect daily life and because I want the option of traveling to places like hiking trails, other areas of Alaska, etc., and an SUV seems like it would be ideal for that.

On the other hand, in terms of my personal preferences, I generally prefer sedans and smaller cars over trucks and SUVs. It occurs to me that I probably wouldn't be doing much traveling during the times of the year when snow is a significant problem. So, I've been considering just getting a sedan with all wheel drive. I was wondering if I could get advice on whether that is a viable option, or if it would pose way too many problems in the winter. Obviously I see people in sedans all the time, but I don't know whether that is their only car, or if they have an SUV that they use when conditions are tough. One concern I have is needing to move my car when it is parked downtown, where I spend most of my time, but not knowing what I would do if snow made that impossible for a smaller car.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
