Coefficient of friction on dry pavement is around .7 to .75
On snow or ice, it would be around .25 to .3
So, for example at 30 mph, stopping distance on dry pavement would be 40-42 feet.
On snow or ice, it would be 100-120 feet.
As you can see, it increases quite a bit.

Do anti-lock brakes reduce braking distance?
Most experts in the field agree on this. ABS does reduce braking distance on dry or wet pavement if they are used properly. On gravel and snow ABS may increase braking distance slightly. But ABS's main safety feature is not to decrease stopping distance, but is to allow control of the vehicle during an emergency stop, because it prevents wheel lock-up and a skid.
