Correct choices:
- Winter is coming; I need a new coat.
- Winter is coming, so I need a new coat.
- Because winter is coming, I need a new coat.

Why: the first two join the original independent clauses correctly (semicolon or comma + coordinating conjunction), and the third uses a correct subordinate clause to show cause.

Why not the others: "When winter is coming, I need a new coat." is awkward/unnatural (use "When winter comes..." instead). "Although winter is coming, I need a new coat." reverses the intended meaning and sounds contradictory.
