If you're not confident driving on a slick surface; take the opportunity during a storm like this to go find an empty parking lot and get some experience. Minor traction loss is rarely a big deal and often can be a lot of fun; but we don't teach people what to do in that situation so many just freeze up in panic. Go play "skid pad" with you car in a safer, controlled situation and at lower speeds, get some idea what happens and how you can regain control when it does. "Slow down" is good advice too; impact energy scales with the square of velocity.
