Add an ABS Switch to disconnect it?

I was looking for some info regarding the addition of a switch somewhere on the dashboard.

There is snow everyday in Michigan and It could be great to be able to disconnect ABS when I want. The only solution so far is to remove the fuse which is not very convenient since I have to open the hood.

So, I'm wondering if it's not possible to add a switch which comes from the fuses box and put it somewhere around the steering wheel.
has someone already tried to do this?
Please give me your concern? How do you do when there is snow?

So Nobody have ever tried to disconnect ABS.
What do you do with brakes when there is snow, you've just get a light foot?

Some people told me to be carefull because the brake force repartition is screwed up without ABS. Have you heard about that?

Some of the C6 Z06 guys are wiring switches from a fuse so they can have their baffles in the muffler open, I'm sure the same thing would work for you. Here's the how-to: Corvette Forum
