The process of preparing a property, usually a vacant building, for cold weather and winter storms. Properties in colder climates face the risk of damage caused by cold temperature and snow, especially when the property is vacant. The chief danger to prepare for are frozen water pipes, which tend to burst and cause serious property damage. Vacant properties must have their pipes drained of water; sometimes anti-freeze are added to toilets sewer pipes and tanks. Both vacant and occupied properties also need to prepare for snow by installing storm windows (while removing screens) and checking the roof for leaks.
