If you never lived where it snows and were moving North to where it does snow, what would you have liked to have known? What would you do to prepare?

It also will make your house smell great! I'd also suggest making enough for friends and visitors.

I'm in Chicago and it can get lonely if you decide to stay couped up in your house for too long. Make sure to be intentional on inviting friends over and becoming close with your neighbors. I noticed comments here are focused on the physical aspect of winter, but it's also important to take care of your mental health.

My theory is the Midwestern kindness is just a regional Stockholm syndrome. We're all in this together.
