Well, here we are in a winter wonderland\u2026again! You\u2019ve shoveled your driveway and salted the sidewalk, but before you wrap up in that snuggie and whip up a cup of hot chocolate, F.H. Furr wants to let you know there may be a little something you haven\u2019t considered. It\u2019s below freezing outside, there\u2019s snow on your roof, and you are toasty inside\u2014these three factors, though seemingly harmless separately, could together be a recipe for a disaster!
