In many places, snow begins to fall in December. If you want to enjoy the winter snow, it is best to be prepared before the first snow.

Stock up on Tools

Make sure that your snow shovels are in working order before you get your first big snow. Early December can be a great time to stock up on ice melt too. Always store your tools where you can easily access them if there is a storm. If you have pets and plants, read the labels of any ice melt products that you purchase. This way, you can ensure that your pets and garden remain safe and healthy.

To prevent slips and falls, keep your walkways clear of ice and snow as often as possible.
