17 Winter Survival Hacks to Get You Through the Season

  1. Rock-Filled Boot Tray for Cleaner Floors
    Stop puddles and mud at the door:
    • Use a plastic tray or large baking sheet with a lip.
    • Fill with a single layer of medium-sized stones.
    • Optional: Build a simple 1×2 wooden frame around the tray and paint to match your trim.
    Boots sit on the stones, water drains below, and your entryway stays cleaner and less slippery.

Save these winter hacks so you’re not scrambling when the first storm hits — a little prep now makes the whole season easier.
