Remove the Leaves from Your Eaves
Make sure eaves and downspouts are free of leaves, dirt and debris in order to prepare them for winter freezing and snow.
Downspouts can also be put up over the winter months, if you so choose. Remember to keep watch for pooling water on the warmer, melting days and place down when needed. Right now is also a great time to remove any outdoor hoses from your hose bibs.
