The need for a water main break does not happen only in the
winter, in fact there are many types of water mains that can
break in summer, especially the plastic one. There are
three reasons that can cause a water main to burst in
summer:
Temperatures warm up faster, causing the freeze/thaw
cycle
Thawing snow also leads to freezing of the ground.
The ground is weak from thawing, which leads to a weak
pipe that bursts
The thawing and freezing happens simultaneously
Natural gas pipes burst in the summer as well. If you have a
gas line, you should check the weather forecast and make
sure your gas meter is insulated, as they both react to the
high temperature.

3. Check the
Road
Condition
s before
Plowing
You might hear a lot of people say they always have
plenty of time before their snowstorm hit, but is that
really the case? You should also check the road
conditions before you go. Yes, if there is plenty of time
before you needs to get somewhere, you might not
need to prepare, but this might not be true for you. If you
are going on a road trip or something along those lines,
it's always better to go a day early rather than a day
late. There are no guarantee of being there when the
roads are covered with snow, so always be ready to go
early.

4. Do not
Travel
during
Severe
Winter
Storms
There is nothing more frustrating than being stuck on the
road during a blizzard. If you decide to venture out
during the storms, make sure your car is stocked with
necessary supplies. You should have a bag full of water,
batteries, a flashlight, food, blankets, and a radio, as
well as warm clothing and a blanket if it's below
freezing. This can be a challenge if you are not
prepared. You might have to leave your house by 4 AM
or even before that, which means getting some snacks
and other essentials you might need for your journey.
It's not safe to travel in the winter storms.
Make sure you take a deep breath before you tackle any
of these tasks.
