A hard freeze warning means temperatures 20 degrees or lower are
imminent or highly likely. During this period of unusually cold
weather... check on elderly neighbors to make sure they have
adequate heat. Outdoor pets should also have adequate warmth.
Area shelters should continue to expect increased demand.

Everyone should take adequate safety precautions with their
heating systems... and make sure to utilize Carbon monoxide
detectors in enclosed spaces. Extra caution should be used with
portable space heaters. Make sure space heaters are not left
unattended and are not used near flammable materials such as
curtains or bed coverings. Open the faucet slightly for a small
stream of water overnight if you have any exterior open air
piping. Damage likely to any early new growth of sensitive
vegetation left unprotected. Listen to NOAA Weather Radio or your
local news media outlets for continuing updates on the cold
weather.

A Wind Advisory means that winds of 25 to 39 mph are expected.
Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially for
high profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
