I'm doing my first mission in the snow soon and the guy at my local store was mentioning that I need to get winter diesel before heading up there.
What is this and do you need it?

Otherwise known as Alpine diesel.
Would recommend you fill up with Alpine if you intend to travel to sub 0 deg temperatures overnight. It has additive in diesel to stop it from waxing/freezing up and blocking your filter or pump

Hi Chris, winter diesel is simply heating oil mixed in with the diesel.
A lot of places already would be using this in cold parts but you can also just get some Chemtech Diesel Power from SuperCheap which will probably be easier.
***Update**** And what Nisspat said, Alpine for sure.

x2 but you can also by additive for mixing with any pump Diesel that will do exactly the same thing.
