I'll say that Sheldon's right about _nearly_ everything. When it comes to fixed and slippery conditions though, I feel much safer being able to coast through a patch of ice than I would by having an oh-**** moment and resisting at the wrong time. I think his thoughts regarding fixed gear in adverse weather could just as easily apply to a freewheel; gear low and stay off the brakes if you can.
