Just found out that a member of another forum I am on just lost their fifth wheel trailer and 3500 diesel truck by just getting on an oiled road in Texas while it was drizzling and did a couple of 360's before going into a field and rolling over. Obviously, both truck and trailer were totaled, but both they and their cat walked away uninjured. This was not in icy conditions, but this is what can happen in icy or snowy conditions, and they were already slowed down due to the conditions they found their selves in. So, like was said, unless there is some kind of emergency that absolutely requires travel in bad conditions, it is much better to sit it out than risk everything.
