Outside Your Home:
Clear gutters from fallen leaves and debris
Buy salt and a snow shovel now so you have it before the storms hit
Seal up any cracks or holes within stonework or siding
Disconnect hoses from outside faucets and turn off the water
Inside Your Home:
Change air filters, check windows and doors to make sure they are properly sealed
Check your doors and windows for any gaps where cold air can flow into the house
Give your heating system a test run to ensure everything is working properly
Clean out your chimneys or woodstoves if you have them
Add or replace any electrical outlet plate to make sure no cold air is coming in from the outside
Protecting your pets from the cold:
Your family pet may already have a natural coat but it is a great idea to buy another one for those super cold days
If you have an outdoor cat, try to transition them into an indoor cat for winter
Keep your pet’s paws clean and trim of any excess fur
