   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.

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.
