    Traction control wont do anything if your brakes have locked up under braking. You need things like ABS, EBD and stability control for that which can actually electronically monitor the brake loading.

    Also, unless youve got snow chains or studded tyres, which it sounds like you definately need for the conditions, you shouldnt be on the roads. Even then, you need to allow much longer braking distances.
