Baby It's Cold Outside

If you are new to our beautiful state, welcome to winter in Colorado!  If you are not, you know exactly what to expect.  Beautiful 50 and 60 degree weather one minute and freezing cold, blowing snow the next!  No matter, you cannot deny the beauty of Colorado.
Being a Community Manager with Diversified Association Management for the past 7 years, I have seen my share of preventable disasters that come with the freezing cold temperatures.  Here are a few hints to help you enjoy this merry-go-round of temperatures this season:
When it is below freezing:   

• Keep your thermostat at a minimum of 55 degrees.
• Do not leave your garage door open during sub-freezing weather.  Any pipes in the floor above the garage may also freeze.
• Apply foam insulation to your pipes, which is very inexpensive and can be purchased at any hardware store.
• On sub-freezing days, open the cabinets below your sinks and leave the faucets dripping with a slow, continuous stream of cold water.

We at Diversified Association Management hope that you will get out and enjoy this season and all that it has to offer!  Be it skiing, tubing, sledding, skating or snowshoeing, embrace it and enjoy every minute!
