Weather Hacks to Help You Survive the Next 6 Weeks of Winter

Running late for work can be even worse when you walk out to your car and the door handles are frozen shut. Here's an easy fix - pour a bit of hand sanitizer on the handle and the ice will melt right off! Say goodbye to that morning struggle!

Did you know you can put that old pair of socks to use? Put them over your windshield wipers to prevent them from freezing and sticking to your windshield overnight.

Be ready for a cold snow day and invest in an electric blanket! When you know you'll be in one spot on the couch most of the day or hiding in bed, save energy, turn the heat down in other rooms and turn on the electric blanket.

We all know the frustration of leaving snow boots on the floor after being outside and minutes later you have a dirty puddle of ice and mud in your foyer. Those days are over! Dry your boots inside without the mess by filling a tray with pebbles and stones and resting your dirty boots on top. The snow and mud will melt through the rocks to the bottom of the tray.

Keep drafts out of the house by stuffing your beach towels under and around your doors. Sure, it's not so aesthetically pleasing, but it keeps your home warm and the drafts out!

Stay toasty in your bed with flannel sheets. They really are the best and so amazingly warm.

*Try Target for some plushy options!

Whether you're getting dressed in the morning or heading to bed, toss your clothes in the dryer for a few minutes and experience the feeling of cozy, warm clothes to jump into!

Spray your shovel with a non-stick cooking spray before going outside to shovel your driveway or sidewalk. This helps the snow from sticking to the shovel. Go ahead and dig into the slush - snow, ice, and mud will slide right off!

Winter can do a number on your skin, making your hands dry and cracked. Before bed, moisturize your hands and pull on a pair of old gloves. This will lock in the moisture overnight and you will wake up with smooth and refreshed skin!
