With temperatures at and below freezing it’s best to cover outdoor faucets to prevent them from freezing and then bursting. Bring any outdoor plants indoors and also bring outdoor pets inside or give them extra bedding to be able to stay warm overnight. Lastly, check on those around you who could be more susceptible to these frigid conditions.

Overnight lows will again fall at or below freezing Wednesday and Thursday morning.
