People who are unprotected and marginally protected are at risk, weather officials said. The low temperatures could kill plants and other plants and damage unprotected outdoor installations.

Residents are urged to start protecting outdoor plants and water pipes now. Pipes should be wrapped and deflated or allowed to drain slowly.

Those with underground sprinkler systems should drain systems and cover overhead pipes.
The National Weather Service encourages residents to follow the “Four Ps” for protection against cold weather:

  • People: Wear layers, limit exposure to cold, check heaters ahead of time.
  • Plants: Cover or bring sensitive plants indoors.
  • Pets: Bring pets inside at night and provide them with heat
  • Pipes: Wrap/cover exposed outer pipes to prevent freezing.
