OMG snow.

This is my second year driving in snow, I really need to hook my ABS back up

its better to drive in the snow without abs

Are you being sarcastic, or do you really think that?

A car WILL stop more quickly in snow with all 4 wheels locked than a car with ABS and the brakes fully applied. This is due to the fact that snow piles in front of the skidding tire as the car slows. However, you are a lot more likely to go sideways when you brake without ABS and lose control of the car.

If you're referring to a situation where you are driving in a foot of snow, maybe, but I'm still highly doubtful that some snow is going to stop thousands of pounds of momentum (unless you are on pure ice). Anything less and there's no way you are going to slow down do to snow piling up. If your wheel isn't turning it's going to just turn the patch directly below it into ice instantly due to the pressure and all you'll do is slide. All the wheel is at that point is a sled runner.

For example, find a slick road and hit your brakes to lock and turn your wheel. You will only go straight. Let off the brakes just enough for the wheel to turn and you'll start turning. This is because a rolling wheel stops better than a stationary one.
