Millions of Americans deal with significant ice and snow from a massive storm system that stretches from southern states like Texas to New England.
People in Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and Arkansas see ice, making travel almost impossible and putting property at risk.
In Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio, heavy wet snow is shutting down schools and roadways and may threaten electricity service.
According to Weather.com, Indiana's Governor, Eric Holcomb, has called this the "worst statewide weather event in five years."
Winter weather like this means your property is at risk for damage from a fire, frozen pipes, or ice build-up that could lead to water damage.
The risk continues after the storm moves out as thawing or re-freezing happens.

The risk of fire increases as people turn to alternate sources for heat like a fireplace, woodstove, or electric heaters.
Even when you do your best to prevent fires, sometimes disasters happen. If your home or business is damaged by fire, you will need to file a property loss insurance claim.
