winterised

Ready for frost

Winterised is the British spelling of winterized, the past tense and participle of winterize.

To winterise something is to prepare it for cold weather—draining pipes to prevent freezing, adding antifreeze to engines, or storing outdoor furniture.

We had the cottage winterised before the first frost.
