The Pacific Northwest is bracing for a snowy next few days: 

Here's a checklist of everything we did for the boats at our docks. Reply with your winter weather tips and print out the attached PDF for an easy check off anytime a cold weather front passes through. Special thanks to Captain Pete Sponek for helping put this list together!

WINTER WEATHER CHECKLIST

• Power AC
• Heat (Preferably Diesel)
• Check exhaust
• Turn on heat in Engine room and leave pass through door open, if applicable.
• Block Heaters, owner preference whether turned on or off
• Head doors left open
• Thermostats: 60deg in lower areas 58 upper. Fans on low.
• Hot Water heater off
• Water Pumps Off
• All faucets open, especially exterior ones.
• Shower wands on shower floor and left open
• Dial all power down as possible keeping possible AC Power Loss
• Photo panel for reference
• Battery Charges on
• Inverter check it sees AC and is charging
• Label Hot Watermakers “Turn on Water Pump before Heater” “Turn Off Faucets after turning on Fresh Water Pump”

Great list Geo, many thanks. I am finding that having the diesel furnace on keeps my ER at 73 degrees, even though there isn't a blower there. 

But that is after I closed the ER vents. Before that, with that 35 degree air entering the space, it was quite cool. All you have to do is push the piston back a little and the door drops. There is also a plastic latch that engages if you push on the door. 

I then put a post it on my engine key area to remind me to open the vents before next startup.  

Glad it is helpful  

We attached these to every water pump breaker to remind us and others that faucets are open to help avoid damage as a part of our freezing temperature prep.
