Im based in Kansas and i made it all winter on badly worn summer tires and only got truly stuck once.

As everyone said, good winter tires are a must so get them as soon as you can. Slow starts and stops, always good to slow down way before you think you may need to.

Ive found if your stuck one of the best things to get you out is cat litter. Really. The super cheap stuff is fine that comes in giant bags. I normally keep 2 big bags in the back and if i get stuck ill use it to get back out. I just lay a line of it in the show/ice for about 2-3 feet from my rear tire forward (or direction of travel).

Good luck and hope this helps.
