Many nocturnal animals, including migrating birds, depend on pitch-black conditions to make their way through the night sky. So, with the holiday season over, be sure to take down all the exterior decorative lights as soon as possible to help lessen the night's brightness. Also, make a habit of turning off outdoor lights before going to bed to help our feathered friends find their way.

Power outages can be common in the winter months, with winter storms snapping trees and taking down power lines.

This will keep it frozen until the power is restored to your home.
