Our area has already experienced the Polar Vortex, and predictions are that we’ll be seeing extreme cold this winter. So, now’s a good time to think ahead to how you can help your home handle the deep freeze. From avoiding – or thawing – frozen pipes, to safeguarding fire places, chimneys and furnaces, and keeping steps and walkways ice free, this home cold weather checklist from Today’s Homeowner can help you prepare. You’ll also find great advice for staying safe and warm when the inevitable snow storm strikes.

Want a home where you’ll never need to shovel snow? Consider Whitemarsh Station, a wonderful Sal Paone Builder community of single homes in Plymouth Meeting. The community HOA will do the shoveling for you. So, when the white stuff falls, you can enjoy sledding, snow angels and snowball fights with the other “kids” in the neighborhood!
