So, once again, it's time for: Jay's Ultimate Fall/Winter Seasonal List of Chores! Specifically, the very important Fall/Winter Seasonal Chores List. You have to do it anyway, so this gift is for you. It seems like every year I will be driving home and hear on the news that it will get below freezing during the night.
