Maybe we don't get enough practice in snow. In Sweden pretty much every driver has snow chains and the local authority have massive snow clearing lorries.

I got stuck once in a drift and it was the lorry drivers who lost traction causing the bottlenecks. Most of the car drivers were ok, at least whilst things were moving. There are always a few that drive too quick and then lose control.

I would have thought that a modern ABS could respond to lost grip much more quickly than most drivers, but I do completely agree that ABS is a pain in the Snow.
