1) slow down when the road conditions aren't ideal. As you've discovered, wet and/or near freezing roads don't have as much grip as hot dry roads. This means you have to be safer with the brakes and turning. Easiest way to fix this? Slow down and brake more gradually. The rest takes care of itself.
Also, when you have conditions like this, find a big parking lot and practice stops CAREFULLY. You want to get to the point where you can feel the wheels squirm or flirt with locking up. Again, CAUTION here. Idk how much finesse you have with things like this, but if you can't feel it on a motorcycle, hop on a mountain bicycle on a trail in the mud/gravel/roots and teach yourself at safer speeds.
Pay attention to what your tires are telling you and ride for the road conditions. You can get away with a lot more when the pavement is hot and dry and your tires are hot. When everything is wet and cold, the limits are that much lower.
