If you haven't already winterized your car/truck coolant, that's got to be done asap or you risk serious engine damage

In NH & Vermont, you want to run a 50/50 coolant -water mix so the fluid tests to about -30 below zero

If you are burning wood in a typical wood stove you should use only hardwood (no pine or hemlock) get your chimney cleaned every year

If it's wood furnace or boiler, some of them can use all kinds of wood, so that's less of an issue

During serious cold snaps, hanging blankets or quilts in front of large windows can help.

You can buy or make window quilts just for this purpose, and they can cut your fuel/wood bills by 30% or more if you have them on every window
