snowbird advice needed

OK, this is the first year we are planning on doing the snowbird routine (Michigan/Florida) and there are a number of things that we never had to think about. We intend on winterizing our Michigan home just because even minimal heating is extremely costly. For those that have done this, or do this, what do you do with cans of paint, etc, that may or may not do well in sub-freezing temps?

This will be the first of at least a few inquiries and, I am sure we will forget some things but, all help appreciated.

Thanks.

    Sorry, but this makes no sense whatsoever to me. :? I can't imagine leaving our house for extended periods of time and not having it sufficiently heated that interior temps would always remain well above the freezing point ... at the very least I would have thought home insurance policies would require it. How "costly" could it be to maintain a reasonable interior temperature for perhaps 4 months during the coldest winter months? :h
