Those with winter season, do you shop in advance before winter comes?

The 'winter season' actually lasts about 3 months. I don't think anyone buys three months worth of shopping to prepare for winter. And perishable foods usually are not good for one month from purchase.

When it snows, the authorities clean the road. We wear boots and we walk (or drive) in the snow that remain son the ground. No one shops for 1 month, fresh fruits and vegetables do not last one month.

My sister lives in New York, and she wouldn't keep anything in storage for more than a month. When winter arrives, it is much like any other day; all they need are warmer garments to go about their daily business.

No I do not. I just usually buy as I go along each week if I can.

I used to live in the country, away from a little town. I found the roads hard to drive on when it was icy and snowy. I also found walking in snow to be slippery. I had to walk across a yard to feed chckens. The snow would pack and get slippery from ice. We used to buy things like rice in large amounts so that we would have basic food for more than a month if we needed to. We lived where we had our own water pump. Night time the temperatures got so cold more than once our house water pipes froze and the pump froze a little, too. Winter can be very hard on a person and the animals.

Here it rained all day. But said rain did not affect my behavior. Too warm for ice, or anything like that. No problems.

I live on an island and winter here is manageable. It's not that cold. I do not usually shop before winter but during winter depending on how cold it is

One cannot shop for 1 month's worth of food as it would spoil unless all you purchase is dry, canned or frozen food. It is a season, you adjust, you wear a warm coat, you drive carefully in your car after the roads have been cleared of the snow and or ice and you shop like you would during the other seasons. Getting outside, regardless of the season, is healthy. We all need fresh air and sunshine.

We always have a good supply of food here. You do learn how to walk and drive on the snow. Also layers of clothes is warmer than one big coat for going outside

Winter is not my favorite season! Especially at 10 degrees. I buy winter boots and clothes around one month before cold weather starts. I like to be prepared.
