I also enjoy driving in snow. As you said, practicing, and knowing how to control the car in the snow really is almost like an art.
Once I gave someone a ride home in a bad snowstorm as they had a small 2 Wheel Dr. car and I had a jeep with decent all-terrain/snow rated tires. They Were surprised at the times I ended up Using throttle, downshifting to avoid using brakes, and sometimes making judgment calls, Such as not stopping at a four way intersection that I can clearly tell is a sheet of ice and can see all directions and there is not another car on the road.
Ice is a whole Other ballgame, the worst is when you have a layer of ice and get some fresh snow on that. You really have no idea if you are on a layer of snow with dry asphalt under it, snow with slush under it, snow on a sheet of ice, etc. In those situations, just keep it nice and slow and do everything to avoid having to break or make sudden steering changes.
Some decent advice there; lot of what I do every year takes those and a few other things into account. Nearly every time I see someone lose control on winter roads their lack of sense in throttle control is what does them in.
