And as much as it's going to hurt your mileage, you may also need to add weight in the bed to improve traction at the back on ice/snow.
This is exactly what you need to be doing. Also, depending on how extreme their weather gets you need a shovel. One can fit in your bed or they make small snow shovels and even folding snow shovels. I would go small, personally. You also want good gloves on you at all time or a spare set in the glove box. Finally, you need a snow brush with an ice scraper at it. Try to get one with the plastic scraper end opposite of the brush so you don't worry about the scraper getting in the way of brushing.
