Answers:

How do i do this?

If you call your local AAA (Autoclub), and talk to someone in the Driver Education Dept., they may have some information on courses.
Also you can call a few reputable Driving Schools and they might recommend someone also.
Basically, in poor weather conditions, you should slow down, NOT oversteer (make lane changes as straight as possible looking well up the lane you intend to enter), and increase your following distance. Your speed BEFORE entering turns onto streets in town should be below 10 mph., and don't brake on corners, but before you enter the corner instead.
At first, practice on empty streets, and in winter watch out for the "ruts", which could be 4" deep and send your car sideways.
Good luck.

What do you think about leasing vehicles. We're curretly in a lease and.?

My best recommendation is to go to a well-lit empty parking lot after dark during the winter and practice on the slick surface. You'll learn how to correct yourself, stop on a slick surface, etc. Just make sure that you're in an area where you know the overall behavior of the police--they may question you if you're sliding around on an empty parking lot after dark.
