Well there you have it. Winter's first snow has fallen here in Vermont. There wasn't much to shovel out my way, but today in the clearing skies, the distant mountains are white and it's obvious that there are lots of winter scenes unfolding in the surrounding hills.

Winter is knocking on our door, and it's time to batten down the hatches. In addition to the usual wood stacking, weatherstripping, and other traditional preparations, this is also the time of year to make a few adjustments in the way we maintain our homes. Nothing major, but there are some things to think about, and this week we're sharing them in our new guide to winter housekeeping. Use it to make your transition to the new season a healthy one!
