Don't forget that snow brush. Something like this guy that will be extendable (you can't legally drive down here with snow all piled on your roof -- it tends to come off and it's a bad time for the people behind you) and can turn into a wide thing for clearing like a foot or more of snow. Also has ice scraper, which is required.
I had a friend who moved to San Diego, drove some friends to a game, and none of them had any idea what the weird brush was in his car.
From one short person to another, I hear you there! When I had my mom's SUV a few years ago, I invested in a brush that had a telescoping handle and a scraper on the end. It was an absolute lifesaver - I highly recommend one!
NH here, got these for 2 vehicles several years ago and they are going strong. I was skeptical because moving parts tend to break but no issues so far and great for SUVs.
