Thought about getting the base wheel, selling the stock tires, and putting on with snows, but will probably get the upgraded wheel and then buy at minimum a set of snows to swap.
Other stuff, maybe a shovel and a little weight in the trunk (sand can be used as traction if get stuck).
Drive and enjoy!

Agree with this, even though I am going with AWD for this generation.
The biggest thing will definitely be getting a set of good winter tires...NOT all-season.
Try to go a bit narrower than stock if you anticipate driving though a lot of fresh, unpaved snow. If you don't think you'll be driving though a lot of snow, just a lot of extremely cold/dry days, IMO the stock tire size is fine. Although a lot of this will also be dictated by the wheels you pick (I would also get a set of dedicated winter wheels) and their corresponding tire size.
Beyond that, a lot of it just comes down to common sense and safe driving.
