Shut it all down...
We've been winterizing our place for 50 years. We shut everything down. Drain the pipes and blow compressed air through the lines. Leave all faucets, including outside, open. Run vegetable oil through the garbage disposal. Remove all liquids...i.e. cans of soup, laundry detergent, insect repellent, etc. Flush anti-freeze through the toilets and then drain them. Remove batteries from smoke detectors. Shut off electricity. Because there should be no one trespassing on our land, we don't do any snow removal. Because we don't leave the heat on, we have no problems with ice dams.
