Fall maintenance/Preparing for winter

For the past few years, in preparation for winter, I’ve done the following maintenance around the house during the weekend of day light savings:

turn off the water line leading to the backyard spigot

clean gutters

check the window calking

change the smoke alarm batteries

And if I’m feeling really ambitious I’ll also clean out the bath tub trap

What else do folks do to prepare for winter?
