Do they have a levitation field around them?
Bike tyres, the road and grip have a very similar relationship to car tyres, the road and grip.
What makes you think you'll have no grip?
Also: Use whatever bars you want, if you don't use the drops, then don't put your hands there *shrug*. I run Nitto bullhorns on my bike, and there've been days/times where I'd have loved to tuck into drops.
This being said, I ran drops on a winter beater last year but lacked the hood on one side (removed the lever) and it sucked not having it there - so your lever choices will be influenced by this.
Or, just grab a pair of cheapo drops and flip/chop as someone else said.
+1 to fenders and warm/appropriate clothing.
