Must have items / Must do things for the winter

Hi guys, I recently moved from CA to Michigan and I am already worried about the
snow since it started to snow today...

I am wondering that what kind of tools or items should I have in my trunk?

I've heard such things as window de-icer...or things to get rid of the icy windows...
something like these.

Also, I am thinking about getting winter tires and new battery...
I heard winter tires are a must item for the winter times and I am not sure when
the previous owner changed the battery but I think I should change it to a stronger ones... right?

Is there specific winter tires/batteries that anyone recommend? Thanks !

these



are window de-icers.

have the battery load tested.

go to the tire section, read about snow tires and then ask people in the michigan lounge in the mid west section about some recommendations
