Wait until the sun comes out or the temperature rises near the freezing point and starts melting that top layer, and your chances of shortish controlled stops goes right out the window.

Granted that but there's no ice worse than black ice, which covers our freshly scraped, 30*F roads.
MY point is the ABS only works as well as your tires, because it only functions under the conditions they fail.
