Being already prepared for our Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountain Winter weather means being prepared for Winter weather storms. That may mean a 12-18 inch snow fall, an ice storm or high winds that knock down power lines, or a week or ten days of sub zero weather. Or worse, a combination of two or more at the same time or one shortly after the other!
During the past twenty-five years Woodstock Hardware has navigated the tricky Winter weather conditions to meet the needs of our customers. There was 1994 when the snow events lined up such that there was a shortage of snow shovels and roof rakes leaving many folks scrambling to keep their homes safe. Woodstock Hardware worked through that challenge by special ordering products from suppliers in Canada who are of course already for Winter.
More recently, at the end of 2017, a seven to ten-day cold snap coupled with fuel oil delivery mishaps challenged everyone’s heating systems creating need for oil tank and oil burner parts, heat tapes, space heaters, and cold weather insulating products. Woodstock Hardware “weather that storm” depending on its’ emergency inventory supply, and by utilizing its’ computerized management system to source supplies from various suppliers.

Here are three great general tips to consider as you prepare your home for the upcoming Winter. Don’t forget:
- Clean those gutters. Once the leaves fall remove them and other debris from your home’s gutters and give them a good rinse. Old leaves and twigs combined with Winter rain and melting snow can clog your gutters. Clogged drains can form ice dams, in which water backs up, freezes and causes water to seep into the house.
- Block those leaks. One of the best ways to winterize your home is to simply block obvious cracks, gaps, and air leaks around your house, both inside and out. The average American home has leaks that amount to a nine-square-foot hole in the wall.Buy door sweeps to close spaces under exterior doors, and caulk or apply tacky rope caulk to those drafty spots. Outlet gaskets can easily be installed in electrical outlets that share a home’s outer walls, where cold air often enters. Outside, seal leaks with weather-resistant caulk. For brick areas, use masonry sealer, which will better stand up to freezing and thawing. Even if it’s a small crack, it’s worth sealing up doing so even helps discourage insects from entering your home.
- Check the furnace. Before the cold weather arrives turn your furnace on to make sure it’s working. It is also a good idea to call and schedule a yearly cleaning. Also throughout the winter you should change your furnace filters regularly. Dirty filters impedes air flow, reduces efficiency, and could even cause a fire in an extreme case. Toss out the dirty fiberglass filters; reusable electrostatic or electronic filters can be washed.
