Cold Weather

5 P’s of Cold Weather Prep

  • Protect Pets – Bring outdoor pets inside or provide a warm shelter for them.
  • Protect People – Dress in warm layers & wear a hat & gloves
  • Protect Pipes – Cover pipes & allow outdoor faucets to slowly drip to prevent them from freezing & breaking.
  • Protect Plants – Cover cold-sensitive plants to protect them from dangerous temperatures.
  • Practice Fire Safety – Use safe heating sources indoors. Don’t use fuel-burning devices such as grills; they release deadly carbon monoxide.
