Get you a stand like this

And pegs like these

Both are well worth the money

Make your own. First, get some small vial levels... Amazon has these

Chuck a long, dead-straight, rod (or large bit) into your drill. Clamp the drill onto your bench or other stable platform such that you can check for level on the length of the rod/bit with a small level. Once you have the bit level, you can then attach a vial level to the top of the drill. I used a few washers and some hot melt glue to align and set the vial on my drill. It was good enough for what I needed, but it did not hold up for very long. Might work for you.

Edit: Basically, I made my own, more stable version of this

I got this from Amazon and it works great.

I missed that. Those are are for leveling (im jealous), but what I am thinking of look more like jack stands. Camco 2 Pack 44561 Aluminum Camper Jack-2 Pack, 2 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000760FX4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ylEzDb3KYR6YA

I was just at walmart and they were selling a plastic version of this for $25...and then I checked Amazon and see them for $13 or $20 depending on distance between wheels... https://www.amazon.com/Camco-44622-Wheel-Stop-Large/dp/B000BUU5Y0

I still understand you can pick up the hardware at Lowes and make your version for $5... just thought I would share this info because I looked at X-Chocks (too expensive) and don't have time to make my own right now.

I jack on the pinch weld, and put the jack stands on the pinch weld also. That's what the manual says.

I highly recommend one of these pinch weld adapters

There are tongue weight scales but they're pricey. If you google it you'll find a number of other ways to measure tw.

A battery jump starter

RV leveling blocks

Led string lights

Collapsable food containers

I keep 2 of these in the boot, give them the ol' wheeliedollie

Mine is mounted on my driver side A pillar, the only noise it makes is whistling in the wind.

Now that you have a proper jack, you'll probably need one of these to use the pinch weld lift points: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MG9CNUX/ref=sxts_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497853070&sr=1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65

I use this on the pinch weld right next to the reinforced part https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MG9CNUX/ then put the jack stand on the reinforced part of the pinch weld.

It resembles a 5th wheel stabilizing bipod without the ground pads on the ends, but I can't see how the jack handle on this would operate if that were the case.

Doesn't seem very sturdy, but if it works? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I carry around two stacks of leveling blocks but I have also seen people with pieces of 2x4 that they cut to short lengths.

Like bloodypalace said, the heavy chain (it weighs 10+ lbs) is a bit much for most people to carry around and at $120 it's a significant investment as well.

The U-lock can be beat with a car jack. The thief sticks one of these inside and expands the jack until the lock fails like this
...or if it's a cheapy lock the thief just uses a ball point pen.

This is the right answer. Front wheel drive will handle snowy conditions just fine. If the roads haven't been cleared, AWD or even a big 4WD isn't going to help you as the roads will be gridlocked with traffic.

Like /u/qwicksilfer says, you can take a few precautions if conditions are bad and you're concerned. Keep the following in your trunk:

• Emergency kit
  
• Small shovel
  
• Flashlight
  
• Bag of sand or a set of traction pads
  
• A couple triangle emergency cones
