Also, for the love of god, don't hit the brakes going around corners in the snow and ice. If you need to slow down, do it BEFORE you turn. Every winter in Michigan I'd see dozens of people fail at this and end up spinning out into a ditch or the guardrail.Greetings from Finland. I would say one thing you should do is lose the traction on purpose. Not to crash into something, but to test the grip level SAFELY. So maybe you gain that knowledge already trying to leave your parking spot and having a little wheel spin non-purpously. But if you don't I'd suggest to get some momentum on the road and at a safe place break until you lock the tires. You will get a feel on HOW slippery the road is. The funny thing is that while dry and wet road surfaces have pretty constant amounts of traction, in snow the traction may vary wildly so you need to test it. Also practice to lose the control. This needs to be done also safely and in closed area for it to be legal (or in a parking lot and hope that cops won't see you). It's important to know how it feels when you lose the control and to learn to get it back (counter steering etc). This also helps not to panic if it happens for real. Pro tips: as in the video, slow smooth inputs and especially when accelerating from full stop short shift to lower the torque; remember that the traction may vary a lot also locally (within meters); and remember that someone else might not be expert in snow so keep your distance to other drivers.
