Here comes winter

Last updated on

As much as we all hate to admit it, here in St Louis, winter is coming. Take this weekend to prepare. Disconnect hoses and store them for the winter. Turn off outside water supply. Cover or put away patio furniture and decor. Get lawnmower tuned up and prepared for next season. Find snow shovel and put it in an easy to reach/find location. Clear garage so that you can park in it for the winter. Fill windshield washer fluid in car. Make sure you have a windshield scraper.
