Be aware of everything going on around you, not just the car immediately in front of yours. This allows you to see someone possible breaking up ahead, giving you more control and more time to safely come to a stop.

Let’s face it; there is nothing more frustrating than driving through the snow with poor visibility and suddenly you hit a slipper spot on the road and the next thing you know you are spinning out of control. And, it’s downright scary being out of control with your vehicle and you end up finding yourself hood to hood with another vehicle.

Fear not, you have an expert landscaper on your side that will explain the services you need to be looking for to have your landscaping winning prizes next year.

prepare for winter We’re going to do the same thing on a more drastic scale to the apartment house. We’re having an expert “weatherize” it by draining the pipes, filling them with food-grade antifreeze and doing whatever else needs to be done to get it through the winter without heat. Because its oil tank is outside, we have to use a higher grade of fuel for its furnace, so this should save us a bundle.

Jackets: You need these to enable you to move around outdoors. Jackets become indispensable when you need to perform more thorough engine inspections, or if you need to hitch-hike, just in case things get desperate.

cars in winter All you have to do is stick the tube in the coolant, squeeze the bulb at the top, release and let the coolant fill the tube, and then count how many disks float. Read the label on the side of the tester and that will indicate how low the outside temperature can be before your coolant will freeze. You can pick up a good antifreeze tester for about $20.00 at just about any parts supply store.

These winter snow tires comes in two models — the DS-2 and DS-3. These studless winter tires are designed for minivans and cars (not SUVs or big 4x4s). Both models are well-regarded for snow traction, braking, safety, and noise levels. However, the DS-3 model is newer and incorporates the latest technology.

We know how drying winter air can be to our skin, but it can really dry out our trees as well. Be sure to water your trees well towards the end of October to the beginning of November so that they can have as much water stored as possible when the ground freezes. Do not water them to the point where the ground is clearly over-watered; just give them a good soaking. Also don’t assume that watering your lawn is the same thing as watering your tree; grass soaks up water much more quickly than a tree can, meaning your tree will not get the water it needs.
