For us:
Snow/ice scrapers for glass
Snow tires for my car - 55 mile commute
Wife gets by on "all season" tires.
Keep checking tire pressure - it goes down with temperature
More grill block for my car; remove in summer
Winter-capable wipers. Either the type with a boot over the springs, or the new one-piece type
Rear drive vehicles: several concrete blocks in the cargo/trunk area; 150-200 pounds. Likely more for a truck. The combination of snow tires plus weight over the drive wheels has gotten me through truly hazardous conditions without incident.
Last winter I installed an oil pan heater, so I'm now plugging it in, using a timer to run it several hours before driving. I'd prefer the type that installs in a freeze plug hole but I'm not up to the installation job.
