What are some things a mobile home owner needs to do right after a blizzard?

As much snow as possible was removed from roof and porch roof. What else needs to be done? No frozen pipes right now and heater tape is around all pipes. What else?|||Even though your pipes have heater tape, if the power goes out in the night you might want a backup. I would leave one faucet farthest from your water hook up on a slow drip just to keep the water moving a little. Especially if your hook up to water is above ground. Keep an eye on the roof every couple hours if it is still snowing. Is your sewage line exposed under the skirt? Sometimes a metal skirt under the mobile will keep the crawlspace warm, but if you have no skirt you might want to check it. Though if the snow is too high, the snow will actually act as insulation to the crawlspace! Igloo style. If it is exposed elsewhere, you might want to make sure it does not freeze. (that could get ugly quick!) Wrapping it in old towels works fine. Build a Snowman tomorrow! God Bless!|||Check on your neighbors. Clear driveway so you can get out incase you need it to in an emergency. And make sure vehicle is cleared off and will start %26amp; run. Cuddle
