Celebrating the Spring Equinox and All its Unpredictability

3/31/2022 (Permalink)

Spring is finally upon us with its official arrival marked on Sunday, March 20, 2022. The first day of spring, also known as the spring or vernal equinox, brings with it milder temperatures, longer days and… unpredictable weather. 

That’s right -- just because winter is behind us doesn’t mean we won’t see our share of spring storms, including rain accumulations and high winds -- both of which can cause similar storm damage to snow and ice, without proper preparation. 

Now is the ideal time to check your property for potential storm debris, like weak or overgrown branches, along with clogged gutters or downspouts, which need to be cleared in order for heavy rains to flow freely and away from the structure of your home.

As much as we’re all excited to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air, when a spring storm is in the forecast, you’ll want to store your patio furniture -- including table umbrellas -- to avoid any property damage due to high winds.

When a storm hits, no matter how prepared you are, damage can still follow. That’s why your
