If you never lived where it snows and were moving North to where it does snow, what would you have liked to have known? What would you do to prepare?

    Keep one of those brush/scraper things in your car.

    Clean the snow off your car before driving.

    CLEAN THE SNOW OFF YOUR CAR BEFORE DRIVING

    All of it

    If it is going to be a lot of snow, don’t wait until it is over before you start digging out.

    Salt/pet friendly ice melt for your walkways

    Have a snow blower? Don’t wait until the day before to see if it still runs. Make sure you have gas for it

    Slow drip on a faucet to prevent pipes from bursting

      Seriously, clearing snow isn’t just for your visibility. It’s illegal here (and presumably other places) to leave any snow at all on your car because it will come off and is very likely to affect the visibility of another driver at high speeds.

      That reminds me, I should set a reminder to charge the batteries for mine.
