Although Pennsylvania is a state that experiences all four seasons, winter can be harsh, especially in the northern and western parts of the state. Here are some tips on how to prepare for winter in Pennsylvania:
1. Stock up on food and supplies. This includes non-perishable food items as well as things like shovels, salt, and sand for your driveway or walkway.
2. Get your car ready. Winterize your vehicle by having it serviced and making sure the tires are in good condition with plenty of tread. Keep a emergency kit in your car including things like flares, a first-aid kit, and blankets.
3. Make sure your home is ready. Weatherstrip doors and windows to prevent drafts, have your furnace serviced, and clean out gutters and downspouts to prevent ice dams from forming on your roof.
