Little Rock doesn't get a lot of snow but some ice. No high drifts except once every quarter century or so. I've found that riding my DF is a pretty stable situation. I have better traction than many cars.
Haven't tried the frozen-water thing much with my Bacchetta. Yesterday I came out of a parking lot and my rear wheel spun momentarily as it lost traction, but then it grabbed. And I was walking the bike up a short 20% grade on my commute this morning when I found a small patch of ice. I walked very slowly and carefully up that.
