About Today: It's Time to Winterize

If you can't see this email, click here

I live in an apartment and don't own a car, so my winterizing checklist begins and ends with a phone call to my landlord to turn the heat on. Unfortunately, it's not quite that easy for everybody.

Get Your Household In Order
Get these things done now because, as our Guide to Home Repair astutely points out, installing storm windows when it's 10 degrees outside isn't exactly a fun-filled holiday activity.

Prep Your Car for Winter
Old Man Winter may chuckle as he watches you scrape sheets of ice off your car windshield, but he bellows with laughter when you break down on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere because you forgot to check your antifreeze.

Don't Forget Your Lawn
What exactly does "putting your lawn to bed" for the winter entail? It could include re-seeding, mulching and raking leaves, and tending to sprinkler systems.

Set Up a Home Workout Space
Treacherous roads and heavy snowfall could make long walks or driving to the gym difficult for those living in cold-weather locales. Sorry, no excuses: our Guide to Pilates has your winter fitness solution.
