Winter Storm Survival Tips
Just a little refresher given this week's white stuff! Don't
forget -- keep the tap running with a small stream of water so
pipes don't freeze. Reduce your thermostat to 60-65 to conserve
fuel and for goodness sake, if need be, bundle up. Think layers of
loose, lightweight clothes. If the heat fails: Shut the doors of
the unneeded rooms. Draw the shades and hang plastic, sheets, or
blankets over windows and doors to slow heat loss. Wear a warm hat
and save your body heat. Know where the main water valve shut-off is
in case your pipes do freeze and crack.
