4 Important Ways To Protect Your Home From Cold Weather

The coldest season of the year has finally arrived and it seems it will be a long, cold winter this year. Therefore, you need to prepare your house so as to avoid any damages that may happen because of extreme weather conditions. Read on to find out exactly what to do if you are planning to get away or if you simply want to make this winter a lot easier not only for you and your family but also for your house.

Maintenance period – Outside Fixtures

If you want to be prepared for the possible hazards of winter, you will have to do some repairing before the season finally arrives. Maintaining your house in a good condition is the best way to protect it from snowstorms, blizzards and ice dams during winter. Most people fail to understand that the summer season is not just for having fun and sunbathing, it is also an ideal time of year to fix any damage your house has.

In the first place, you should check that your window shutters are in good condition. It is of public domain that strong winds can blow any loose parts away and this poses a threat to your family and neighbours. It is also important to make sure that there are no cracks from which cold breeze can enter your house. If there were any cracks, you could seal your windows with a waterproof filler and sealant. Another important thing you should do is check that your roof does not have any loose tiles, or cracks. If you find any cracks or tiles that are not properly attached on the roof, it is of vital importance to have them repaired as soon as possible to avoid any leakage when winter arrives.

Apart from checking for cracks and loose tiles, you will have to clean the drainpipes and troughs so as to avoid leakages as well. If you feel your house is not warm enough for you, you can always use insulating material on the roof to help you keep your home warm in winter. If you have a fireplace and want to use it next winter, remember to have it cleaned in order to avoid any unwanted fires. Make sure that your trees are neatly trimmed, this way you will avoid any branches being blown away in case of blizzard.

Inside fixtures

Apart from checking that everything is in working conditions on the outside, you need to check that everything is in perfect condition on the inside as well. One of the most common problems during harsh wintertime is unthawed piping. In order to prevent the freezing and even bursting of your pipes you should use a special insulating material to cover them as burst pipes are one of the leading causes to basement flooding problems.

If you are going on a trip a good idea is to leave the water running a bit, this will help you prevent any damage to your pipes. Something else that needs to be checked at least once a year is your boiler. Nothing can beat a warm bath to get rid of cold. However, if your boiler does not work properly you might have difficulty doing this. Another good idea is to purchase surge protectors to protect your appliances from electrical storms. If you know there might be a snowstorm remember to stock your cupboards with canned food, water and some other food items of vital importance.

The non-stop rainfall that is coming down over New York and New Jersey is raising the risk of flash and urban flooding around the Big Apple and in parts of the Garden State. Heavy rain and thunderstorms are spiraling around a slow moving storm that is affecting that part of the country. Forecasters warned Wednesday that the storm can produce a couple of inches of rainfall which is far more than what’s needed to cause flooding and travel delays.

On Wednesday, rain swept across New Jersey as intense thunderstorms brought over two inches of rainfall and flash flooding to some locations. In Hudson and Bergen counties, floodwaters rose quickly in some areas. Several motorists had to be rescued by boat by the Jersey City Fire Department after they were trapped in deep water. Even though most of the rain from this system came down in New Jersey Wednesday, Thursday is going to be another wet day as more rain is in the forecast.

The bad weather put a stop to the on-going Sandy recovery efforts in Mantoloking, NJ. The ground is just too saturated there to support the many trucks needed for demolition of the scores of houses which were destroyed by the Super Storm in October.

A flash flood warning was issued for New York City Wednesday evening. The National Weather Service said at the time it issued the warning that the highest chance of flooding for the city would be around 9am Thursday. It also warned that the storms could cause streets, underpasses, highways and low-lying areas to flood as one to two inches of rain is expected to fall. The NWS was warning travelers not to drive into flooded areas and to turn around and find alternate routes when they see flooded streets and roadways ahead.

There has already been severe flooding in New Jersey and New York such as what occurred along the approach to the Lincoln Tunnel on Rt. 492 in New Jersey. That area had extensive flooding as at least two feet of water was on the roadway. Heavy downpours also drenched the five boroughs of New York City as well as many parts of coastal New Jersey and Long Island. Vehicles were nearly totally submerged in water in some locations including Fourth Avenue in Brooklyn.

The latest severe thunderstorm present in the United States is predicted to continue into early next week. Severe weather and thunderstorms are not unusual for early May, and this May is following the normal trend of weather patterns. This system is not expected to be destructive as the tornado outbreak that ravaged the south late last month. But, this system will definitely pose a threat of scattered severe thunderstorms every day throughout the end of this week and into next.

The threat areas for Friday are Ohio Valley, middle and lower Mississippi Valley to the east, central, and south Texas area. These regions can await hail, damaging straight line winds, and locally heavy rainfall that could possibly lead to flash flooding in some areas. Louisville, Memphis, Houston, and San Antonio are the main cities that that this weather is expected to hit.

On Saturday, the lower Mississippi Valley, mid Mississippi Valley and Oklahoma will be seeing scattered severe weather. The main threats for Saturday are hail, possible tornado activity, and overnight thunderstorms clusters with hail and heavy rain also possible. Columbia and Springfield, Missouri are the cities that will most likely be hit the hardest throughout Saturday and during Saturday night.

Sunday the system becomes more severe and more widespread than it had been the past two days. This cluster will expand into the southern Plains and into the mid Mississippi Valley. This will include Des Moines, Kansas City, Wichita, and Oklahoma City. These regions can anticipate large hail, a few tornado touchdowns, damaging winds, and a flash flood threat that is mainly predicted for Kansas and in the Northeastward direction. This severe weather will continue into the night and into Monday morning where the system will begin to die down.

The forecast for the Northwest and Rockies through Mother’s Day is on the other side of the spectrum. These regions can expect to see snow due to a strong southward dip of a jet stream that will move from the Pacific Northwest on Friday into the Four Corners by Sunday. This snow will spread throughout the northern Rockies on Saturday and heavy snow is a high possibility in southwest Montana, northwest Wyoming and the Bitterroots and Sawtooth range of Idaho. On Sunday the snow will shift into the mountains of Utah and the higher end of Colorado. The snow in these areas will begin to taper off on Monday.

Accumulations of over one foot are more than likely in the Colorado mountains and south-central Wyoming. Thundersnow is also a possibility as well. Between Denver and Colorado Springs accumulations of over six inches are possible. Stay tuned to your local weather authority or The Weather Channel for any updates on the weather in your area!
