For Canadian winters do:
1. The best snow tires you can afford. If you live where conditions are truly bad, get Hakka 1's and stud them. It's the new Eco-stud, and works VERY well.
2. Be careful about sand bags in the trunk. If they are too far back, it will create a pendulum effect, and that's bad. They need to be right against the back-seat area of the trunk, that way they are over the rear wheels. Too much upsets the balance of the car.
3. The added weight will lengthen your stopping distances, so add a little following distance in traffic. The weight aids take off traction only, and lateral grip and braking are the same/worse. you can't drive faster with some sand in the trunk.
