Invest in electric heaters.
If you already had a place picked that’s in the north, make sure you settle in as early as a month or two before it’s winter season starts.
Do not ever neglect snow tires. If you’re tight on money, getting even 2 sets of tires for wintry conditions is better than none. But 4 is still recommended and no, All-Seasons are terrible for winters regardless of brand. They just aren’t designed for winter conditions, they’re designed mostly for Spring/Summer/Fall.
Buy winter emergency sets for your vehicle. Buy one for the glove compartment, the ones where they actually have emergency power banks in them. Buy another for general use, especially ones equipped with a piece together shovel.
Use HEET only in 30 below temperatures.
I’ve moderated subreddits, I’ve moderated chat rooms and have had managerial experiences in other things over the years online.
People hated me moderating because I ‘took out the trash’ that people, including other moderators, considered the life of a community. People being meme shitlords, people trolling, people gaslighting, people instigating matters .etc
And they all got by because of friendly nepotism and shitty comradery among shitty people who love other shitty people.
I’m not the kind of moderator that I see in most moderators now, who have a brain aneurysm over some expressions and thoughts that they see others express that they deliberately misinterpret. All so that they can construct their self-justifying reasons to ban over.
And that is power-tripping, to me.
