Rain May Cause Issues This Weekend

Post from Portland CT Fire Department:

RAIN! a four letter word that although may seems better than snow it’s not in this instance. The additional weight added to heavy snow loads already in place may cause issues.

Please be aware of the forecast this weekend. Warm temperatures and the forecast of rain on Sunday could cause havoc. Anyone who relies on a sump pump to keep basements free of water should make sure they are in proper working order.

Ice dams already in place may cause leaks in roofs and other unnecessary water infiltration. Stay safe out there!
