Just wanted to say that ABS brakes are not really designed for snow, more for dry pavement to prevent wheel hop. I know that I can stop in about 1/2 the distance if not using the ABS on snow/ice. The only good thing about ABS is that you can steer when your braking. In other words it helps out those drivers not used to the snow by letting them turn when they are all freaked out slamming the brake pedal down.
