Instructions:

These very cold temperatures may cause uninsulated and exposed pipes to freeze and burst. To prevent freezing of pipes, either wrap exposed pipes or allow faucets to slowly drip. Ensure that irrigation systems are turned off and winterized. Preparations should be made now to protect any plants that are sensitive to these extreme temperatures. Also remember to provide adequate shelter or arrangements for outdoor pets.
