1. Check liquids. Change them if it has been awhile or too then off.
2. Check tires / tire pressure.
3. Emergency kit with all the goodies.
4. New layer of sealant.

5. Most importantly. Don`t drive in bad weather. All the prep work in the world won`t help if you make bad decisions. (unless you are a mandated worker. I appreciate you).

6. Check your battery.

Yeah, even maintenance-free ones need their contacts nice and tight and corrosion kept at bay (though I`d expect Autopians tend to keep their batteries properly detailed anyhow ;) ).

As with the spare, lugs that work with your "regular" wheels might not work with the winter ones (if different). Ditto for the lug wrench.

True. Can`t believe I forgot that one.

7. Add another coat of sealant just because. :D

If DrFrosty says so, I will.

Consider adding an emergency blanket or 3 insdie the car if the fist aid kit doesn`t contain one.
Sitting waiting for recovery or even overnight without a running engine to keep you abd your occupants warm sucks...

Shadwell- That`s good advice that I`d tweak just a little- IMO every vehicle oughta have stuff like that in it at all times, well...at least the 1st Aid kit. Put some kind of Quick Clot Product in it if it didn`t come with one.
