It’s not a good feeling to start a turn and realize you don’t have the traction to finish it. Do all the slowing down in a straight line.

I’ve done this in ORD, LGA, BOS among other busy places right down to a crawl if the conditions are bad enough. Then I’ll poke along until the exit. I’ll worry about the guy behind me on a dry runway. Clear me to land on that crud, and I’ll take my time.

Note:
I am not sure if that is part of the circumstances here.
Good advice.
