We don't get much snow here, so when we get some I like to go out and ride in it a bit. Something about a fixed gear lets me "feel" the traction better. Mind you I am out playing in it and not commuting like you brave souls.
I use campus pedals (the ones that have a platform on one side and an SPD clip on the other). I unclip and switch to the platform side whenever a section looks particularly sketchy.
