What not to forget before the first frost

Changing to winter tyres and winter screenwash. Why it pays to set a reminder for them early, before the morning frosts.

Night temperatures are dropping towards zero and the first morning frost can catch you out. Two things are worth thinking about early, while mornings are still frost-free, and a reminder in Muvoo helps you not forget them.

Changing to winter tyres

When the first frost arrives, everyone wants their tyres changed at once and tyre shops are fully booked. An early reminder gives you enough time to book calmly while there are still free slots.

Winter screenwash

At the first frost, summer washer fluid freezes in the reservoir and the hoses and the washers stop working. At worst, it can also damage the reservoir or the pump.

A reminder a few weeks ahead has another advantage: you can use up the summer fluid as usual and then top up with as much winter fluid as possible. No need to spray it away just to change it.

How to do it in Muvoo: on the Reminders page, add two reminders dated a few weeks before the usual first frost: "Tyre change" and "Winter screenwash". When you change the tyres or the fluid, log it as a record and set a reminder for spring right away, such as "Summer screenwash". Add reminder
