This year is poised to be a nasty and extreme Winter time season.
Meteorologists expect multiple arctic blasts with blizzards and ice storms in December and February.
The people I was with and I were blessed to have a mild Winter time season last year. I don’t guess I ran the gas furnace nearly as much as the year prior, and I know there was less snow as well. I guess bad for my little pets when they have to go out in freezing un-even temperatures, especially if they have to wade through 6 inches of snow to do their business. I bought little booties to put on their feet and small sweaters to stretch over their fur. Sometimes I take my snow blower out of the garage and I clear off a area of the backyard for the pets. It makes going outside in the snow much easier for both of them. But before every one of us get that far into the Winter time season, I need to make other preparations first. I want all of my rain gutters wash before they start filling with ice. I need to get the snowblower maintained to make sure the engine isn’t getting ready to die or go south on me. I can’t imagine getting through the Winter time without my powerful snowblower—it’s a night and afternoon difference compared to a shovel. Lastly, I have to take my window a/c out of the window in my lake house office and store it for the season. I love to get it out of the window so I can tightly shut the window while it’s cold outside. It’s strenuous to prevent all air from getting in or out around the seal of the window a/c, so it’s smart to unmount the machine when it’s not going to be used for weeks at a time. This will prevent any unwanted cold drafts or heat leakage through that particular window.
