winterise
Ready for cold
Winterise is the British spelling of winterize—to prepare something for cold weather.
You winterise a house by insulating pipes, a car by checking antifreeze, a garden by protecting vulnerable plants: We need to winterise the cottage before the first frost.
The word implies protective measures against seasonal hazards.
