After searching for a while last winter, I decided if it was going to be nasty often enough I'd invest in the Stabilicers: http://www.32north.com/prod_sport.htm

Fortunately, I didn't have to, the snow and ice stayed mostly in the mountains There are a couple of other options, like the yaktraks, but the stabilicers looked the most natural.
