People all across Long Island tell us they've been dealing with frozen pipes in their homes and businesses because of the historic cold temperatures we experienced over the weekend.

Nassau County fire officials said they responded to many calls from businessowners about steam pipe bursts due to the weather.

Not only is a frozen pipe a major inconvenience because you lose water, but it also poses big safety and financial risks.

Experts warn that if your pipes freeze, you should immediately turn off your water supply line and if you can find the pipe, try to gently thaw it with a warm rag, hairdryer, or space heater.

The concern for the rest of the week is that pipes could burst under pressure as they begin to thaw with temperatures going above freezing.
