Some notes from LMFD: Click here to visit FB page.

Make sure  down spouts are free and clear of snow and ice. In addition, make sure that the run off has somewhere to go, so trench a path away from the house too. If your down spouts are all blocked up, the rain water will have no where to go and you run the risk of it entering your home.

Also do you have a hydrant on your property? Please don’t forget to clear out the fire hydrant on your property. 3 – 4 feet around the whole perimeter please. This is the responsibility of the homeowner with hydrant on property.
