- Check attic Insulation
- If you have oil heat, dust and lubricate to save fuel and repair costs
- Eliminate rodents which can cause a lot of damage
- Reevaluate your Emergency home kit
- After a big snow fall
- Clear walkways with a snow shovel and sprinkle sand or salt on them for traction. (Be careful with the salt, though — it can leach into flower beds and is hard on pets' feet.)
- Check your roof for ice dams and break them up to release water if necessary. Frozen dams along the eaves cause melted snow to puddle above and possibly leak through the roof.
- Knock snow from tree branches to keep them from breaking under the weight.
- Consider sweeping snow from roofs that have shallow angles or little support (sheds, carports, lean-tos) if it can be done safely.
