   2. In fact, get a good, lightweight snow blower -- you'll be thankful after a major downfall.

   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.

   6. Have a good stock of sweaters, mittens, scarves, and other winter clothing -- you can get good deals if you buy out of season.
   7. Stay inside on the bitterly cold days, if you can.

Tips:

   1. Stay tuned to the local weather channels for weather warnings -- remember, frostbite doesn't take long to happen in subzero weather.
   2. Shovelling is really great exercise, but for very deep snow or to make a path through the snowplough's trail you need a blower.
