Wow!  There was over 47 inches of snow in one week here in Philly? 
There are several things you should do to prevent claims on your home insurance.

• Remove the snow from your decks and the roof of your garage and shed.  Snow becomes very heavy and could cause a deck, garage or shed to collapse. Remove the snow if you can do it safely.
• Look at the trees in your yard to make sure the trees are not bent over and scraping your home due to the heavy load of snow on them.
• Clear your walks and make sure you put some salt down. The snow melts during the day and the water can freeze at night.
• Make sure all your outside drains and sewers are not blocked by snow.  If the snow melts this could cause a flood. 
• If you have a fire hydrant near your home make sure that you shovel out the hydrant so the fire company can respond faster to a fire.

With more snow in the forecast it is time to be proactive to prevent losses.
It is time to shoot the ground hog!  I don’t think I can handle six more weeks of a winter like this.
