Always make sure you have a backup way of heating yourself up in the winter!
I specifically remember the power going out, and it was an absolutely bone-chilling winter. It was so cold that there were icesicles forming on the power lines, causing several of them to break and fail. We literally couldn't survive otherwise, so we went to my grandparents' farm for the weekend.
However, when I was a kid, we didn't have the luxury of being able to afford the big wood furnaces I have now. For the most part, my family was rather poor, and we had to rely on space heaters. This all changed in 2002 or so.
One of the most important things that people would need to do, is prepare for winter, and prepare early. Nowadays, we get our wood for the next winter the MOMENT all the snow leaves, and it's dry enough to deliver several face cord of wood.
Now, sit down gadies and lentlemen, and let me give you some Eira Lore™️. I grew up in the heart of the Adirondacks in Upstate NY, and there are two things that are unforgiving up there — the frigid winters, and the distance you needed to drive to go anywhere important.
look, don't get me wrong, it's cool to have stuff like that, but honestly it's wayyyy too rich for my budget (i can hardly afford the napkins i eat off of) we used to use greasy pizza boxes instead of sleds in the winter
Here in New York we're much more blunt. Suicide Drink: Go to your local shop or such that has a fountain soda machine, get the biggest cup you can, and put a little bit in of EVERYTHING available. Suicide Cocktail: The same above, but you add a shot of vodka and tequila.

Wanna know a secret? Take a walk before you have breakfast. Hell, even if it's just for 20, 30 minutes. Once you're done your walk, take a shower, eat breakfast, and do whatever. I've been doing that routine for years. Went from 350lb to 225lb.
