I live in Maryland but grew up in a Northern winter state so I enjoy snow driving when few cars are on the road. its fun.
Physics controls the car. If it is pointed forward and neither the wheel nor brakes are changed the moved momentum will keep the car from moving forward, short an obstruction like a huge snowbank.
So stay calm and practice breaking and turning, as those two maneuvers take careful control or skill on icy roads.
I go near the speed limit straight but slow down for turning or stops.
Last winter I had bald tires on an economy car so every icy day was great practice for me, with new tires its now cake.
AHHHH
