I buy the necessities (food, warm clothes, etc.) necessary for the house because the shops will be closed. I reassure myself that the windows and doors do not let the cold through. I check the rechargeable devices like the big torches, the fans are ready to work in case of power cuts. I have to remove the vehicle from the sidewalk to allow the municipal police to do their job and avoid penalties. I update my medical kit for children in particular and my telephone must have a good battery to call in case of emergency.

Winter is extremely cold and that you need to put on worm/warm clothing all the time. You need to stuck/stock much food in the house because it is unsafe and not really comfortable sometimes driving through the snow although the main roads will always be cleared. it is not quite good being outside so it is advisable you stay home as much as you can but it is good and lovely when you take a long walk after the snow. some love skipping too. winter is a nice season to experience. it is awesome how everything turns so white, such a beautiful thing to see. Enjoy the season, stay worm/warm and safe. Best.
