Have you ever moved from a warm, mild climate like Los Angeles, to one that experiences four seasons -
and did you do so in the dead of winter? What was it like? What do you wish you had known beforehand? In other words, what am I, a native Angeleno currently taking for granted?

I want something to put at the foot of my bed to keep feet warm - a throw would work, but something more designed for the purpose perhaps- like a giant "sock" that slips over the end of the comforter that you slip your feet into or something like that. down or equivalent preferable, but post whatever you have!

With winter starting to appear on the not-so-distant horizon, I got to wondering what are some truly great winter movies? I'm not thinking of films that merely take place during the winter, but ones where the season itself becomes almost a character in the movie; where you can almost feel the cold wind blowing and the snow falling while you watch them.

How do I insulate my crawlspace? I'm thinking about next winter, now that I've barely survived this past one in the US Northeast. My house doesn't have a basement: it's built on concrete piers with a 1-2.5 foot crawlspace between the ground and the first floor. What would be the best way to insulate in this situation?
