  1. Buy a good shovel for snow-pushing.
   2. In fact, get a good, lightweight snow blower -- you'll be thankful after a major downfall.
   3. Have your car tuned up for winter in advance, and get good snow tires.
   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.
   5. On warmer days, enjoy outdoor activities like ice skating at Hawerlak Park or skiing at Rabbit Hill.
