I would also highly recommend making sure you have at the bare minimum a reflective blanket in your glove box in case you break down as well as warm gloves. There's definitely more you could/should have prepared for winter driving, but the blanket can save your life!

a "go" box of granola bars and water is also not a horrible idea to keep in the trunk jic

You mean the storms that everybody knew was coming, that everybody had plenty of time to prepare for?

Those storms?
