   2. In fact, get a good, lightweight snow blower -- you'll be thankful after a major downfall.

0 D! z7 w3 y# i1 ?& c   4. Portable, electric heaters are inexpensive and a great way to save on your heating bill -- buy several before it gets cold and they get sold out.9 R# K& E+ j: z4 T8 Y; Z
   5. On warmer days, enjoy outdoor activities like ice skating at Hawerlak Park or skiing at Rabbit Hill.# D$ c  [( r( s0 |
   6. Have a good stock of sweaters, mittens, scarves, and other winter clothing -- you can get good deals if you buy out of season.+ ^; l( z2 ]: e7 B3 D

   1. Stay tuned to the local weather channels for weather warnings -- remember, frostbite doesn't take long to happen in subzero weather.
( R9 j: E8 r0 j# z( Y# H   2. Shovelling is really great exercise, but for very deep snow or to make a path through the snowplough's trail you need a blower.
