Winter weather can be unpredictable, but a little preparation goes a long way in keeping you safe, warm, and stress-free during a snowstorm. At Leco Realty, we want to make sure our residents are ready before winter weather arrives. Below are some helpful tips to prepare your home—and yourself—before a snowstorm hits.
🏠 Prepare Your Home
- Prevent frozen pipes: Keep your thermostat set to a consistent temperature, even if you’re away. On extremely cold nights, opening cabinet doors under sinks can help warm air circulate around pipes.
- Let faucets drip (if needed): A slow drip can help prevent pipes from freezing during extreme cold.
- Seal drafts: Close and lock windows and doors to keep cold air out and heat in.
- Know your shut-off valves: Familiarize yourself with where your main water shut-off is located in case of an emergency.
🔦 Stock Up on Essentials
- Flashlights and extra batteries
- Bottled water and non-perishable food
- Prescription medications and basic first-aid supplies
- Blankets and warm clothing
- Phone chargers or battery packs
Being prepared ahead of time can make all the difference if travel becomes difficult or power is interrupted.
🚗 Plan Ahead
- Avoid unnecessary travel during icy or snowy conditions.
- If you must go out, let someone know where you’re going and when you expect to return.
- Keep your phone fully charged and have emergency numbers saved.
