Preventing Frozen Water Pipes- Colder wather increases the chance that your water pipes might freeze, especially if you have the gas service disconnected at a vacation home over the winter. Here are some tips to help you avoid or deal with the problem:

• Insulate exposed pipes with heat tape, newspaper or rags.
• Place a 60-watt light bulb cloase to the water meter to keep it from freezing.
• If pipes are close to an exposed outside wall, open the cabinet door to let room heat in.
• Use a hair dryer or turn up the heat in your home to 75 degrees to thaw a frozen pipe; do not use a torch.
• If a pipe bursts, shut off the main valve, usually located near the meter.
• Be aware that leaks sometimes do not show up until a pipe thaws.

Winter Driving Tips

• Make sure your car is ready for the winter by having the engine tuned and proper tires mounted before snow arrives.
• Even well maintained cars can break down under severe drving conditions, so carry emergency equipment in your vehicle, including a snow shovel, battery jumper cables, bag of sand or traction pads, a towing cable, flars, a complete set of warm clothing and boots, and blankets and candles to keep you warm if the engine will not start.
• To get your vehicle moving if it is stuck in snow or on ice, rock it back and forth gently.
• Ice forms first and melts last on bridges and over-passes, where cold air gets underneath, causing the temperature to drop faster that anywhere else.
• Clean all the windows of your vehicle before starting a trip.
• Keep your car's windshield washer tank full. Winter slush can temporarily blind you, especially when you are following other vehicles.
