With a "Winter Storm Warning" spreading across most of Tennessee I thought it would be good to give some ideas for how to prepare for the winter storm. Here is a list of hardware goods that you want to make sure you have on hand:
- Ice Melter of Salt (Keep in mind that Rock Salt can damage concrete and vegatation, it will also not work below freezing)
- Portable Heaters (Non electric in case of a power outage)
- A snow shovel (may not use it that much but you will be thankful you have one)
- Batteries and flash lights in case of a power outage
- Window scraper and windshield deicer
- Sand bags or some type of weight to put in your truck or car.
- Heat tape and pipe insulation
- Faucet cover for exterior water faucets.
- Leave faucets dripping to keep pipes from freezing.
- Shut doors in your house to keep heat from escaping
- Keep flashlights, matches, and candles somewhere you will find them
- Get out portable radios and make sure cell phones are charged
