Protect your home and car against ice and snow
A colder, snowier, drought-busting winter could be on its way to the Pacific Northwest, says NOAA. Its long-range forecasts show up to a 50% chance of below-normal temperatures combined with above-average precipitation for Washington and parts of Oregon, thanks to a threepeat of the La Nina weather pattern.
Here’s how to help your home and car stay safe in the ice and snow:’
- Disconnect your garden hose
- Open under-sink cabinet doors on exterior walls
- Keep the heat on but turn off the main water valve
- Wrap insulation around pipes
- Winterize vacation cabins
- Get your furnace professionally serviced
- Get your wood-burning chimney professionally cleaned
