Winter Tips

Coming up in next month's Family Circle, you'll be able to find a handy tip of mine when it comes to taking car of your car during the winter months. This past weekend, I happened to share another cold-weather-related tip with a friend of mine when it comes to testing whether or not a pond is frozen enough for ice skating.

To test the ice of an outdoor pond to determine whether it is frozen enough for skating, carefully walk out on the ice towards the middle and jump up and down. If you fall through, the ice is not ready for skating.
