As simple as it sounds: shovel and "rock salt." I use that as a general term, because the ecologist in me would like everyone to switch to less toxic forms, like calcium chloride.
Yeah, LL Bean is my savior. Just remember, you can never have too many layers. A layer can be taken off if your too hot.

I have to agree with the shovel and salt. Also you may want to keep some sand in the trunk of your car to help if you would happen to get stuck somewhere. I swear in the winter my trunk becomes just a place for safety items like extra blankets, a collapsable shovel, sand and water. Anything I might need if I get stuck in a snowstorm.

I have some really cute galoshes, and they keep my feet pretty dry. I see them up here all the time...I just kind of assumed that they were for sale everywhere. 
RE: snow boots. NO. I have Doc Martens and they are fine, if you're feeling especially woodsy, Timberlands may be good. Blundstone makes good boots, too. If it's cold and not snowing, I'll usually wear my sneaks.
SmartWool socks are the way to go.
As far as layering, I bought Patagonia Capilene long underwear when I rowed. I love it--no itching. Patagonia is a good place in general to go for winter wear that doesn't look too matronly.

Yeah, it really is all about the moisturizer. Make sure you put something (like Boroleum) inside your nose too. People tend to forget about that. Drink a lot of water too.
Even now, I keep a blanket, an extra pair of gloves, and some hand warmers in the trunk of my car, just in case anything ever happened.
Nice, thick dance tights or figure skating tights are great to wear under jeans if you have to walk outside much. Those keep your legs a lot warmer.

You tell me. I've lived in New York or New England most of my life, and this is the first time I have seen it snow and stick in November.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

If you have a car invest in emergency road service membership (AAA, etc.) and Keep a blanket in the car.

One year it snowed in October but it only stuck for a few days. Snow from a couple of days ago was gone by noon.

double ditto on layering. warm hands and feet are a must. also in your car keep a couple of candles with matches in addition to your blanket.

I'd pass on the candles and get a flashlight.

going on the candle idea.... to save money on heating your place, light some candles instead of turning up the heat. it's amazing how much extra heat you can get from just a candle.

Just be careful. For example, the #1 cause of fires in sorority houses is candles.

How to survive a New England Winter...
Think about summer. Let Barry Manilow help...
"Last night
I waved goodbye
Now it seems years
I`m back in the city
Where nothing is clear
But thoughts of me
Holding you
Bringing us near
(CHORUS)
And tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you
When will this
Strong yearning end
And when will I
Hold you again
Time in New England
Took me away to
Long rocky beaches
And you by the bay
We started a story
Whose end must now wait
(CHORUS)
