You made a great choice in pulling over. I've only had one encounter with snow, literally 1/2" on a slight downhill grade. I was creeping along and saw a traffic light turn amber half a block ahead. I barely touched the brake to start slowing, car rotated 45 degrees and at that point I was along for the ride. Slid through what was now a red light, fortunately the folks who had the green saw my predicament and watched as I continued through the intersection in slow motion.
I was lucky, no impacts with other cars or curbs....don't ever want to have that helpless feeling again.
