Ever try to pedal a trike through 6 inches of slush? Pushing 3 wheel tracks through that much resistance just doesn't work at all. On glare ice the trike has the obvious advantage. In snow, slush, and anything BUT glare ice, the best platform is... an upright. For me, at least, the cold and not the saddle is what limits the length of my rides.
