Frosted Window Panes

Most winters in Upstate NY are dreadful by the time Halloween rolls around, but the fall and winter of 2015 gave us a little more warmth, and most importantly, more time to enjoy outdoor activities! So yes we had another green Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, but we are definitely not complaining. 

Unfortunately for us upstaters, perfect fall days can't last forever. The past few weeks of the New Year have brought some below freeing temps which leave our hands, homes and offices cold and our windows covered with frost. 

So finally with those cold temps on Sunday the 17th, right as Peyton took the win from Pittsburgh, we saw some fluffy snow! That snow may be pretty and hey, some people even enjoy the winter cold but it can also come with damages that you might not even consider.

So keep this in mind while you're admiring the frost from the inside your cozy bedroom, 'window frost while sometimes beautiful, can also be damaging and surprisingly enough can even cause mold in your home or office. So follow these tips to keep your windows warm and dry..'

#1 Use a dehumidifier inside your home to keep the moisture out.

#2 Seal any gaps or cracks in your windows.

#3 And most importantly, heat your homes/offices properly! 

So keep these tips in mind when it starts flurrying this February! Keep warm this 2016!
