Actually, the snow may help a bit, as the pickup was getting a bit squirrely around corners on the ice. The ice doesn't get stay as slick when it gets cold. The snow stays powdery too, so it won't compact as much.
Out of pure curiosity, are studded snow tires available/legal where you are?
Many years ago, I used to use them on my old Buick, and they worked well, but local laws did away with them due to excessive "wear" on the roads. Hence I now drive a Subaru AWD.
But IMO, on a truck, on ice, they still should be a big help if they are available/legal.
