Great Winter Weather Life Hacks

I'm all for some new ideas to help us get through winter, and these sound pretty good!    I haven't tried them, but if you do, let us know how they work!

1.  Bubble wrap your windows.  A lot of the heat in your house escapes through windows, even if they're sealed well. Just stick the flat side to a window, and it'll act like insulation.  You don't even have to tape it.  Just spray the window with a little water, and it should stick.

2.  Ice-proof your windshield with vinegar.  Mix three parts vinegar and one part water . . . spray it on your windshield . . . and there won't be ice stuck to it the next morning.  Or you can use it to MELT ice that's already there.

3.  Prep your snow shovel with cooking spray.  That way, snow won't stick to it while you're shoveling.  You can also just rub it down with vegetable oil.

4.  Put zip ties on your bike tires.  Stagger them around each tire, about half-an-inch apart, and then cut the excess plastic off.  They should act like snow chains, so you get more traction.
