On the road in the sixties driving for a living I always carried a tobacco tin containing some matches, a candle and some chocolate. Did it every year, used the matches sometimes to light fires with diesel and old wood etc when stuck in snow with other drivers.
The candle was to light and keep me from freezing to death should I have to stay in the cab and the engine/diesel froze up, heaters were useles in those days anyway.

Also carried a shovel from mid November to March, used it almost every year:)

A sense of humour in case you have to use that kit helps as well. But you cant go wrong with chucking some spare clothes socks in plastic bags . Your body will struggle to warm up wet kit that your wearing and all your heat is drawn away from your core . I highly recommend a snugpack softy jacket if your sitting in the vehicle for long periods but wear it under a waterproof jacket if your outside clearing snow or things of that nature.

The amount of people one sees walking up the hard shoulder to the emergency phone in just a teeshirt:rolleyes:

I never go out in the Disco in winter without warm clothing and a hat and coat, call me old fashioned:rolleyes:

Ah - but thats 'all year round kit'. :p

I carry a spare fully-charged phone in winter.

It's in the glove-box switched off so the battery doesn't run down at all over the winter.
