Weekly topic challenge: overwintering [completed]

Question

I made a post asking for topic ideas for the challenge, and the next open suggestion is for overwintering.

Winter is coming in the northern hemisphere, so this is a good, seasonal topic for y'all.

Please use the tag overwintering when posting questions for this challenge, and remember to keep the site quality at a good level.

Next week, on December 1, I will tally up the results to see how we did, in an answer below this post. Feedback? Comment below this post or find me in our chat room. Have fun!
