1. Clear your walkways
Before the first snowfall, make sure your paths are free of obstacles. Planters, children's toys, and even garden hoses can become hidden hazards under snow and can also damage snow blowers.
2. Mark your edges
Use reflective stakes to mark the edges of your driveway and flower beds. This helps snow removal crews identify areas to avoid damaging and work more efficiently, especially during night storms.
3. Check your roof condition
A roof in poor condition can accumulate ice, leading to water leaks during thaw periods. Make sure your gutters are clean and your attic insulation is adequate to prevent ice dams.
