All depends on how wet and how slippery. I always came out in the snow and pushed on the break hard. Then I would judge how much pressure it took to actually start slidding. This way I knew how much room to give behind another car. Some days it was a few feet and others it was 50 yards. You have to test it every time you go out.
The normal 2 second rule. Double it if its raining and triple it if its snowing and slushey.
This is just me in Idaho snow.

When they say there is going to be 6 inches of snow does that mean there will be 6 inches of snow accumulation on the ground?
This means that 6 inches of snow will fall. Since snow compacts as it sits on the ground, especially when it is deep and fine/dry (as opposed to a heavier wet snow), a 6 inch snowfall could compact to 4 or 5 inches right away.
