A: Ah, the joys of renting out houses! I'm glad I don't do that these days.
If you're just doing it as a temporary measure, what you're describing will probably work for you. Just realize it will only be temporary at best. Also, make sure you run

Snow means big business for some stores
Starting on Friday, stores became busy with shoppers stocking up on supplies for the forecasted wintry weather. Employees at the Lowes on Grey Lag Way in Lexington say, in particular this morning, many people were looking for snow shovels.
By Noon today they had sold more than 50 and by late afternoon were sold out. That's not the only supplies shoppers were looking for.
Doug Gamble of Lowes says, "Snow shovels of course, rock salt, driveway heat, ice scrapers. I think a lot of people lost those over the summer. Things like that. Last night we were probably busier than even this morning with people preparing for weather. Probably our busiest time I'd say."
Sleds have also been a big hit with customers who were wanting to get out in the snow. Most stores prepare for wintry weather ahead of time, so once it hits, you can easily find what you need, such as the shovels, de-icer, salt, and scrapers.
As for winter supplies, employees at Lowes say they have more shipments coming in to keep items restocked.
