October 2008 - Fall To Do List

Just when we thought we had enough to do, the weather changes. Cooler temperatures remind us that fall is swiftly arriving. October is time to winterize. The Winter Advisory Season begins on October 1st. It’s time to update the ‘To Do List!’ It’s time to make sure our house is ready for cold weather. There are lots of tips in the news. They serve as yearly reminders to caulk our windows, seal and weather-strip doors and prep for colder times ahead and energy conservation. Enclosed are some good tips that we can employ for our homes, but there are several ideas that involve transportation as well. Take a quick look at your trunks and stow away the picnic supplies for next year. Time to tune-up the car, check the antifreeze, check the tires for their proper pressure and if the tread is thin, time to replace them. Tires are such an important facet of safety as well as fuel efficiency. Don’t forget to sign up for free email notifications for the Winter Advisory Notice. You can also call 311 or 768-BURN(2876).
