For 2WD or 4WD vehicles to have better slow speed traction in ANY conditions ... and if your vehicle has an automatic transmission ... try manually putting the transmission in 2nd gear. That helps feed torque very gently to the tires so as to keep wheel spin as low as it can be in keeping with the conditions - even on ice.
(However, I recently had a modern loaner car that did NOT allow manual selection of gear ratios - only Drive, Neutral, or Park. What on Earth is up with that????? Ya gotta love today's marketeers and engineers with too much time on their hands!)
