Snow is a bummer with ABS, thats why AUDI used to fit a deactivation switch, and it was on their adverts..................

There must be a way to instal a switch, is there an electrical connection to the controller?

Would have to be done properly, otherwise MOT failure on safety reasons.
Although brakes still work with out ABS, the module sits on the pipes and controls flow of the fluid.

In snow, if you slam your pedal all the way, the slippy surface can still confuse the sensors. I have managed to lock up an ABS fitted car on gravel.

speedo will still work.
