The Seasons

Canada has four seasons although in Ontario, some people say it has 2; construction and winter.
Each season is beautiful and remarkable for many different reasons including the winter.  Winter is especially difficult for newcomers who may be unaccustomed to the drop in weather temperatures.
There is a special need to be prepared for winter as it could be potentially dangerous.
What would you recommend to a newcomer to buy for the winter?
Summer can be very humid depending on where you live.
Here are some terms to look up:
humidex
wind chill
sleet
hail
white out
black ice
hazy
scorching
The weather channel is also a very good source for anyone wanting to learn more vocabulary.
