Get you a good coat, good thermal base layers, good boots, and good gloves. I got all of mine from patagonia's worn wear program. Those are all worth investing in. Keep cheaper versions of these in your car, or keep your good stuff in a bag and always bring it to your car with you. I've gotten stuck in weird rainstorms and windy times without my outdoor gear, and it sucks. Depending on if you're on a trail, it can be dangerous.
Get a hat with ear flaps, or get earmuffs, and get a good scarf. What works best for me is a tight infinity scarf so that it's close to the skin. Sometimes I wear two and pull one up over my nose--you can do this with one, but I've found that sometimes I'm cozier with two :)
For reflective stuff, LED things are great. I also use this kind of reflective wear when I'm walking. It's cheap and effective.
If you get snow or ice, these things are lifesavers. Dogs that don't normally bug you when they pull could easily pull you to the ground if they pull at the wrong time when you're on an especially slick spot. Obviously, that's a bad time, but especially if you're young it's easy to forget that it's dangerous, particularly in winter--and again, especially on trails where you'll be in a bad situation if you get hurt.
Layering is your best friend as others have said. imo winter boots aren't worth it, so long as you have a good pair of all-season boots that are waterproof. At that point, you just need two good pairs of socks and you'll be set.
CHAPSTICK and lotion!! Put it in all your pockets. People forget about this, but winter is super drying on your skin and I've experienced lip bleeding from super chapped lips. Also, get lotion with SPF. You still need sunscreen in winter.
It's also worth noting that you should be prepared for winter car emergencies if you drive to your walks, too. Keep a blanket, food, water, flashlight, and extra warm clothes in there. Make sure you have an ice scraper, snow shovel, flares (especially important in winter), and jumper cables. They even make self jump starters if you go to especially rural areas or don't have local contacts that can help.
Also, get your car checked out before winter hits full force. Some mechanics will do free system checks when you get your tires rotated or get your winter tires.
P.S. Rechargeable hand warmers exist. They rock, and many can also work as portable phone chargers.
