An October storm isn’t necessarily more powerful than a winter weather system.
It’s concerning because most shore homes are not “buttoned up” for the off season.
A few days ago, I was out in my kayak on the back bay. Today, I needed several layers to stay warm for my walk before work!
It’s time to be practical: secure outdoor furniture, trash cans, and the grill. Make sure your windows and storm doors are latched closed (likewise with the outside shower door). Winterize your outdoor faucets and disconnect the hoses. Set your house thermostats so that the heat will kick on when the temperatures inevitably drop.
