Snug Season

Keeping the person warm, not just the house: the hot water bottle, the electric blanket, the hand warmers and the slippers all come out of the cupboard when the cold arrives.

Snug SeasonGet your warmers season-ready

List the warmers you own, how old each is and how it looks, and where you get cold. The page builds a checklist in three bands - before first use, every use and end of season - lays every check on a tiled stove you glaze as you go, flags what may be past it, and finds the cold spot nothing covers. One run reads your words and tailors it.

Try a sample:

1 Your warmers

    Where do you get cold?

    2 The stove of checks free

    Cold spots nothing warms

      Safety first.

      3 The tailored check

      One run reads your list, your words and the stove, and gives one verdict, checked in this order: retire one if a warmer is past the page's age limit or your words describe damage (a crack, a leak, sticky rubber, scorch marks, fraying, bare wires); check first if a warmer has not been looked at yet, or a hot water bottle or electric blanket has an unknown age; fill a gap if a cold spot has nothing to warm it; otherwise snug. Then a checklist for your own warmers, ideas for the gaps and the safety lines that apply. Not professional advice.

      How the page reads your warmers

      The checks come from a fixed table per kind of warmer, each with a pass if line you can see or feel. A hot water bottle is flagged once it is 3 years old or more, since they are commonly replaced every 2 to 3 years; an electric blanket or heated throw over 10 years old is flagged too. These limits are rough estimates - your item's own instructions and markings come first. Words such as crack, leak, sticky, perished, scorch, fraying, bare wire, sparks, smoke, overheating or a shock are flagged as possible damage unless you deny them ("no cracks"); a warmer you say nothing about counts as not yet checked.

      A cold spot counts as covered when something on your list is a usual way to warm it - a hot water bottle or an electric blanket for feet, lap and back; a heat pack for neck, back, hands or lap; hand warmers for hands; slippers for feet; a throw for lap and back. This is a checklist to help you look, not a safety inspection: if in doubt about a warmer, stop using it and check with its maker. Not professional advice.
