Don't forget a ice scraper and snow brush. You also need to replace your washer fluid with the antifreeze/de-icing type, good for sub-zero temps. It will still freeze at the nozzle, but at least it won't crack your fluid tank. You can also bring along a couple cans of de-icier, but it will fog the inside of the windshield just before the outside re-freezes, until your vehicle warms up. Bring a lighter in case your door lock freezes and spray in some lock lubricant (not WD-40), before you leave. The idea is to displace any moisture in your locks.
