In these winter conditions the first thing I do is stab the ESC button to back it off a little (never the full 2s push though). The little slip it allows is fun when making progress and, crucially, you actually get to use the power of the vehicle.

Also agree in principle that all drivers should master car control without assistance from electronic nannies. But realistically it isn't going to happen in the US and probably not in the UK either.
