Here in Portland, OR the temps are hovering in the single digits, just because spring is around the corner it doesn't mean you shouldn't winterize your pipes now. Here is a recent series of posts that we did about winterizing your home: http://columbiaredevelopment.com/winterizing-your-home/.

Winterizing your house is super important, thanks for the tips! One year I forgot to close the crawl space vents under my house and ended up having to thaw my kitchen pipes for several days!! Luckily nothing cracked or broke, otherwise it could have been a costly mistake.

Oh no! I am glad that there wasn't any costly damage done to your kitchen pipes.

Winterizing is super important. Last year my outside pipes froze because I didn't put the cap on the hose line.
