Rule #1: Try not to panic

Back in my teens we lived near Lake Simcoe (hour north of Toronto) and I grew up drivin' on the lake a lot in winter. Best way to learn handling and control in a skid.
Sadly, in Ontario people aren't required by law to do any sort of testing on ice for their driver's license, despite the fact we're locked in winter for 2/3rds of the year. Seems rather ridiculous. They grant licenses to people who have no clue how to properly drive in slippery conditions and then send them out on major highways to wreak havoc.
Insurance companies should offer some sort of discount or rebate for drivers who take some sort of winter driving course.
