Winter ready: home, car and cold skills
Getting winter ready means protecting outdoor faucets and pipes, changing the furnace filter, testing the alarms, knowing the water shutoff, clearing gutters and snow, preparing the car and its kit, and knowing hypothermia signs and a go-bag.
Winter punishes the jobs left undone in fall. A hose left on the outdoor faucet splits a pipe, a clogged filter strains the furnace, a weak battery dies on the coldest morning and a car stuck in snow needs a kit you packed weeks ago. This bundle collects the cold-weather skills in the order to do them: prepare the home, test the alarms before the heating season, get the car and its emergency kit ready, and learn to shovel snow without hurting yourself and to spot hypothermia before it turns serious.
