A prolonged stretch of bitter cold is about to settle in, temperatures are likely to stay below freezing for an extended period. That means melting will be slow, and impacts could linger for several days after the storm ends. Cold like this can be hard on plumbing, so now is the time to prepare.
Steps to help prevent frozen pipes:
• * Let faucets stream slowly (especially on exterior walls)
• • Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate
Cover or insulate exposed pipes, outdoor
spigots, and crawl spaces
• Keep your thermostat set to the same temperature day and night
• Seal drafts around doors, windows, and where pipes enter the house
If leaving town, never turn the heat off, set it no
lower than 55°
