Long Island neighbors: Once cleanup from the winter storm gets underway, we're going to have to deal with serious snow and ice around the garage.
Stay safe, go slow, and follow these steps. First, take a moment to clear the base. Then:
🧹 Shovel snow away from the bottom seal
🧊 Break up ice gently with a plastic scraper
💧 Use warm water or safe ice melt - not brute force

And as always, we're here to help. Stay warm, everyone!
