Less a schedule than a status check: either the valve has been operated in living memory or it has not, and the second case is the one worth fixing. January runs a high near 53 with lows around 32, so the cold arrives in short bursts rather than long ones.

The cold does not create the weakness, it just reveals it. Months of mild weather leave a marginal fitting looking fine right up until the night it is not. With first frost near November 8, that is worth settling before the weather turns.

It is normally close to where the supply enters, which on a slab means an interior wall or garage and on a crawlspace home means just above the framing. Finding it on a quiet afternoon beats hunting for it with water running. The frost date near November 8 is a reasonable marker for getting it sorted.

Close the main shutoff, then cut power to the water heater at the breaker so it is not heating an empty tank. Nothing else has to happen before the call. Houses toward Bremen tend to sit differently on their lots, which changes where the box ends up.
