About half the leave are off the trees and I've raked twice alrady. One of the biggest lifestyle shifts here is that Vermonters PREPARE for the coming winter. Here is a list of to do/done so far.
- drain and store hoses and cover outdoor taps.
- cover all perinnial beds with leaves too provide insulation
- remove screens on doors and install storm glass.
- remove AC units
- remove mower deck and attach snow blower to tractor
- store deck furniture and grill
- get snow tires and sand bags for truck
- get 'hi-test' anti-freeze (-40 F) and washer fluid. install snow blade windshield wipers
Most of this is done already. The rest will be finished soon. Temps are expected to drop into high or even mid 20's tonight.
