My tips would be:
1. Slow down, and be prepared to crash at all times. Winter riding is very unpredictable and you should expect to have a wipe-out at least once a season.
2. Ice, black ice, or ice under water is brutal without studded tires.
3. Stay out of snow ruts, you'll lose your steering
4. Hard packed snow is the best!
5. Fresh snow more than 3" deep becomes challenging with steering. Doable, but challenging.
6. -15 deg C, the derailleur stops functioning properly
7. Batteries only have about half the life they do in the summer. Maybe less.
8. Slushy snow is VERY unpredictable.
9. (CONTROVERSIAL) Lower tire pressure to about 12 psi. Any lower doesn't help much and you risk pinch flats. Don't go less than 10 psi, you also risk losing the bead on your tires. Others will say different, but this is from experience.
10. Low tire pressure doesn't magically let you stick to ice. It helps with staying on top of snow, and only slightly helps with traction
11. Try to avoid using your front brake on snow and ice
