Getting Ready for a Fun and Safe Winter!

As I write nearing the end of October, days are relatively warm, humidity levels are blissful, and fall colours create a beautiful backdrop for all to enjoy! Although I am admittedly an autumn-o-phile, I also love what each of the seasons has to bring: blossoming flowers and songbirds waking me up in the spring; camping, BBQing and early sunrises waking me up in the summer; and yes, frolicking in winter’s white, fluffy version of rain while manipulating it to make sculptures, snow forts, and small tennis-sized balls to throw at others, all in the name of fun! Indeed, it won’t be long before temperatures drop below zero, and fall colours become a faded memory whited out by equally beautiful winter scenery.

Get some tips on how to best handle the coming winter after the break.
