Another issue is 4 wheel drive - people think it makes them immune to problems. When it actually only gets you into trouble faster.

I'll take good winter tires over 4 wheel drive any day. They give you better steering and braking, in addition to better acceleration grip.

The other mandatory equipment is winter / all weather windshield wipers.
