The snow storm is receiving all of the attention, but shore property owners should be more concerned about the forecasted temperatures.
Cold wind can freeze pipes in the crawl space (open crawl space vents are often the cause). Â If outside faucets/showers aren’t drained, Â pipes will freeze, and then crack.
Inside your home, open the cabinet doors under the kitchen and bathroom sinks (allows heat to flow around the pipes). Turn up the thermostat a few degrees just to be safe.
Always worthwhile to ride down to check doors and windows, and make sure all household items are secure.
