Snow in St. George?

As residents in St. George hunkered down for the cold front that moved through the area last week, many reported trace amounts of snow falling. St. George is not known for its snowfall which averages under three inches each year. Often, years will go by without residents noticing any of the white stuff falling. Even though our area doesn’t have high annual snowfall, we still have winter weather that drops temperatures well below freezing. Freezing temperatures can do more harm than snow can, with bursting pipes, water damage from ice dams and increased heating bills. Much of the damage that your home or business in St. George could tolerate from freezing temperatures can be prevented. Inspection of pipes to see what temperature they can withstand, clearing debris from gutters to reduce the likelihood of ice dams and weather stripping and insulation to help keep your heating costs down are all things that can be done now, before temperatures drop even further. If you are interested in preparing your home for snow and/or freezing temperatures call HiCaliber of St. George for inspections and repairs at (435) 674-9338 or visit us online at http://www.hicaliber.biz
