Tips for keeping your home prepared for winter weather are:

• Keep Cabinet doors open during cold spells. This allows warm air to circulate around pipes.
• Keep a slow trickle of water flowing through faucets, especially if the pipes for faucets run through unheated or uninsulated areas of your home. 
• Consider shutting outdoor faucets. Find the shut-off valve in the basement or crawlspace and turn it to off
• If you follow the previous step, then open the outdoor faucet to help ensure it drains completely and the inner valve is shut off.
• Ensure gutters are clean and secure. Leaves and debris accumulate, causing a damming affect on gutters, which could lead to roof problems and water damage
• Proper maintenance of your furnace can help reduce the risk of puff backs.
