Apart from the manadatory and usual stuff, I will probably include a shovel, spotlight, some sort of snow mat (an old front door mat), blanket and a thermos just in case.

Any advances ?

Barbour, fireproof Hi-Vis, hard hat, goggles, sharps gloves, steel toecap boots, tape measure? But they're in the car anyway for work in my case!

The only snow stuff in addition to you = extra screenwash, but I carry jumpleads, spare bulbs, gaffer tape, WD40 and a few tools as a matter of course anyway...

Nothing

Am just wondering if the last three items are for use on the first item???

Seriously though, I wouldn't go out if I thought theere was a serious chance of getting a significant amount of snow. Normally have a hat, coat, jumpers, waterproof jkt and stuff in the car anyway along with a spare headlight bulb and usually screenwash. Who doesn't take a load of food and drink on a long car journey? Nom, nom, nom.

To the usual kit of hi-viz, triangle, 1st aid kit, spare bulbs, travel rugs, fire extinguisher, torches I'll be adding:

Thermos flask containing hot drink

Small snow shovel

Wellies/walking boots

Think that should cover it

Do wonder about a snow shovel , if its needed then would think better not to go any further , unless 1 is spendoing all the time on B country roads . Agrre with other bits , as keeping warm whillst walking a few miles from the car is an obvious downside .

Paracetamol and Condoms (large)

Phone charger

Water - you can drink it, wash lights/windows or even use it as coolant.

Metal Spade/Shovel - plastic snow shovels are of no use if you need to clear a few yards of ice/compacted snow.

Ordered one of these from Amazon for my lad as he's recently got driving with his first car; currently stuck in the post somewhere.

Fire extinguisher is a good point - seems to be lots of car fires ATM...

After getting stuck last year in the centre of Durham overnight & having to find a hotel at 11pm at night i have got an over night bag / spare set work uniform.

. . . . and a plastic storage crate in my boot with WD40 , Torch , Hi Viz Coat , Snow Shovel , Bag Of Grit , 5ltrs Screen Wash , Blanket , Wellies , Plug In Flashing Amber light , Mars Bars & Lucozade :p

A lot of you are well prepared. Even just going to work currently I have work boots, spade, spare clothes, chocolate, water (for car and me), and extra screenwash. That is In addition to what I always carry, blankets (you never know when you might need them any day - car accident for example), jump leads, tools (spanners, screw drivers, torq bits), WD40, air compressor, fuses, fire extinguisher, high vis jacket, warning triangle, torch (both wind up and battery currently!). :yes:

There is something ironic there... made me smile.

Coat, hat, gloves, water and a tow rope does me fine.

Already used the rope a few times to pull people out of difficulty.

I was going to say, do you live in Australia? However I've seen this link on another forum. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/australia/8213932/Wintry-weather-brings-snow-to-Australia-in-midsummer.html
