For peace of mind, I also tend to keep my fuel tank full just in case I'm stuck in traffic for several hours. Also give yourself lots of time to get around. Expect the roads to be slippery. Monday morning's commute is not going to be very good, so if you can you might want to work from home.
Schools and other services and events maybe disrupted on so check websites before heading out.
