The last of 2023 and start of 2024 winter weather has been mild… so far! But according to the best sources the later part of January will not be so kind.
Today is the best day to get outdoors and get ready for cold weather. Temperatures will begin falling with rain and cold in the forecast over the next few days and overnight lows into the low 20’s by January 12th. They will not be record lows but WILL be cold enough to freeze and burst pipes. So take advantage of the mild temperatures toddy to cover all exposed pipes, disconnect hoses and cover outdoor faucets. If you have not had your furnace serviced, get it scheduled! Change the filters, make sure tree limbs are trimmed off of the roof, get those gutters cleaned. Please get ready for the normal winter expectations for North Texas since even in a “normal” winter here we can expect burst pipes, falling tree limbs, and heater failures.
Do you know where to shut off your water in an emergency? Do you know where your water meter key and wrench are without delay? Be safe my friends!
