Snow is just around the corner and here in New England an early snow storm can catch even the most prepared off guard. With just a little amount of time and preparation, you can be prepared easily and enjoy the dropping temperature and falling snow.

1. Inspect your roof and remove any leaves or debris that could potentially cause an ice dam, damage to your roof or water damage.
2. Make sure your windows are sealed, use window coverings and weatherstripping for drafty areas around windows and doors. Also make sure that pipes in unheated spaces are properly insulated to prevent a pipe from freezing and busting which can cause significant water damage.
3. Change your filters regularly so the air in your business stays clean and your systems are running efficiently
4. Stock up on ice melt, sand and shovels to prevent any accidental slips and falls for your customers, you and your employees
5. Lastly, make sure your business insurance is up to date and you have the proper coverage for your business. If you don’t have insurance now is a good time to invest in coverage and help to prevent lost income.

Whether you love winter or can't wait until it's over, this few tips can help save you and your business from the winter blues!
