I know how these systems work, and I use them all the time - they are for use in clear conditions, as they do not adjust for them. They are programmed to maintain speed and following distance while detecting metal objects in front of them.
If the car applies normal-weather brake force to a car with all season tires in -20 weather, that's not good.
To say nothing of a blizzard.
The world is extremely complicated, and it doesn't get less complex in the cold and dark.
