A winter storm is in today's forecast so we wanted to share some great tips from our friends at Plymouth Rock Assurance.
For Your Home
- To prevent frozen pipes, set your thermostat to a warm temperature. If you're leaving town, set it to no lower than 65 degrees.
- Make sure you have working flashlights, nonperishable food items and water in case you lose power or the storm keeps you house-bound for more than a day.
- Stay indoors during the storm and follow these tips to avoid snow shoveling-related injuries.
On the Road
- Snow can accumulate quickly, creating slick conditions. If possible, avoid driving during the storm.
- If you must drive, be sure to stock your vehicle's winter roadside emergency kit with all the essentials including snacks, blankets, a windshield de-icer, a spare phone charger and flare lights. Check your oil and antifreeze levels.
- If there’s even the slightest threat of snow in the forecast, keep your motorcycle off the road, properly stored and winterized.
After the Storm
Stay safe and warm this week!
