October to November
Autumn
First storms and winter preparation test drainage, roads, heat, contracts and maintenance discipline.
What is autumn actually like?
Autumn is commissioning season: observe first storms, clear drainage, service heat and chimneys, confirm snow and management contracts, verify insurance and prepare road, monitoring and emergency systems before freeze-up.
Use the first sustained rain
Inspect roof edges, windows, decks, foundation, retaining outlets, roads and shoreline drainage.
Leaves and debris reveal who maintains shared culverts and common property.
Commission winter systems
Service heat, ventilation, alarms, water isolation, generator and fireplaces where present.
Confirm condominium and private snow contracts plus local emergency access.
Prepare the recurring trip
Set winter tires, route information, parking, storage and first-arrival procedures.
Update guest instructions and property-manager authority before snow.
