Preparing my house for the wintertime is one of those things that somehow always creeps up on me each year, no matter what. I’d like to think I can blame this year’s tardiness on the fact that we had an unseasonably warm fall, but truth be told, whether the cold sets in early or late, I am never on time with my wintertime house prep. 

Although I hate to admit it, I tend to be the kind of person who learns certain lessons the hard way — like waiting until my key fob battery completely dies and getting locked out of my car, instead of changing it months ago when it first told me the battery was low. Or starting my holiday shopping on Dec. 23 at 8 o’clock at night.
