- Turn off the indoor shut off valve for the outdoor water faucet.
- Look through your winter coats and donate what you did not use last year. Then dry clean or launder coats you will be keeping or replace if necessary.

- Move shovels and ice melt near the outside garage doors for easy access.
- Place snow brush and ice scraper in the trunk of your car.
- Inspect entrance door mats and replace if necessary.
- Get the boot tray cleaned, in place and ready for wet shoes and boots.
- Place a tissue packet in every coat pocket. Keep extras in the coat closet for easy replenishment.
- Inventory gloves, hat, scarves and boots. Get rid of those mismatched mittens and restock.
- Fill windshield washer in car and check wiper blades.
- Set one organizing goal for the season: photos, old tax records and clearing out the basement are all great indoor, winter organizing projects. Note setting the goal is a task. The actual organizing is a project.
