When a deep new layer of dnow drifts to the Earth at midnight, it's a little bit like magic. Grown men and women turn into small children again as they wonder at the crystalline beauty of individual snowflakes and marvel at the world turned white and glistening. Snowball fights break out, and people can be found in the street, paused in wonder to watch the trees get coated in snow.
Homes turn into winter wonderlands, and cars become buried in layers of ice, beginning to look more like rocks than man-made structures. Everything gets blanketed in the sheen of frozen water that lights up the world from below.
Some people are snowfall kind of people, but everyone can appreciate the beauty of a fresh two feet. Car and home owners, however, should know that their garage doors will need a little care if the garage will be effective in shielding it's contents from the freeze. Joints in the garage door can freeze, garage door opener mechanisms can lock up. It's important to check for ice if problems arise, and to clear drifts of snow from where the door opens so a layer doesn't form between the door and the floor.
If your garage door is already on it's last legs, one big snowstorm can completely disable it. If you want to enjoy the gloriousness of a fresh snowfall without worrying about your car or your garage, be sure to check that your garage door is in perfect working condition before the winter starts. If it's still operating now, check today to make sure it'll last the whole winter. There is nothing more important than the integrity of your home in the middle of winter.
You don't want to interrupt the snowman building to call the garage door repairman at the last minute! Sit back and sip hot cocoa instead, and leave the worrying to someone else.
