make sure your engine coolant is a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water so you dont crack the engine block.
make sure your battery and charging system is in good condition. hard starts are a sign to look for.
make sure all your cooling hoses are free of cracks and deterioration
make sure you have good tread left on your tired for the snow and ice.
keep a set of battery jumper cables and other emergency equipment such as a small shovel.
and lastly make sure that you have plenty of washer fluid that is washer fluid and not just water.

what engine is fitted to a ygry y 12 mini excavator?

I was just about to say "ask The Holly Spirit" as a joke but He advised me not to do it, and tell you Dirt Trak #13 is right in his answer, but you also should change your engine oil for a thinner one. If your car is still new, stick to syntetic oil. If it has more than 5,000 miles, forget it, as it can start leaking oil. You can use a good monograde oil for low temperatures. About the tires, I'd reccomend the "Gislaved" Dannish tyre brand, sold by every Continental Tire dealer. they are good even in hot weather, but they were made with cold roads in mind. Also, use only antifreezing engine coolant, the type you dont have to mix with water. And there are also several brands selling washer fluid which does not need water, also.
You should also give your car a little warm up time when you start it. Apart from that, you'll be fine. Most, if not all of the people in Salt Lake, are good, nice people, who will be glad to help you anytime. God Bless.
