How do you prep your home for winter?

[CameronsMommy23]

Do you cover the windows with plastic, add insulation strips around doors, etc.

[MamaBear2cubs]

We have mild winters, no real extras are needed usually.

[Stevensmomma]

yes we do the windows in plastic and we replace filters all year round door draft stoppers and check for any leaks 

[AzariahsMother]

No I don't do any of those things.

We fill our basement with firewood for the furnace.

I am buying a new storm door this year to help keep snow & winds from coming in around the back door.

I will check insulation around windows and doors and spray the Great Stuff foam insulation where needed.

We shut crawl space vents.

I'll check weatherstripping around the entry doors and replace where needed.

We check the seals on the doors and cover the windows.

The only thing we do is make sure the door in the kitchen has one of those draft stoppers or whatever since it gets a draft under the door and I have noticed that we sometimes get a puddle of water there as well. Other than that we don't do anything - we are used to winters we live in MN :)

We recently bought new windows so we do not need to do much anymore.

[momto3isme]

We'll get firewood for the fireplace.  Check for any drafts by the doors or windows.

We live in Phoenix, no prepping needed :)

We really don't do much other than clean the chimney. Our house stays pretty warm in the winter
