Safety Precautions
With temperatures dropping significantly and snowfall expected, it’s essential to take measures to protect your home, pets, and plants.
Protecting Outdoor Animals
- Shelter: Ensure pets have access to warm, insulated shelters that shield them from wind and moisture. Use clean, dry bedding materials like blankets or straw.
- Limit Exposure: For small dog breeds and those sensitive to cold, limit outdoor time during extreme temperatures. Short, frequent walks during the warmest part of the day (11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) are advisable.
Preventing Frozen Pipes
- Insulate Pipes: Wrap exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas like attics and crawl spaces, with insulation materials to prevent freezing.
- Drip Faucets: Allow faucets to drip slightly during extreme cold to keep water moving and reduce the risk of freezing.
- Open Cabinet Doors: Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate around pipes, particularly those on exterior walls.
Additional Tips
- Stay Informed: Monitor local weather updates and heed any advisories or warnings issued by authorities.
- Travel Caution: If travel is necessary during snowy conditions, exercise extreme caution and consider carrying a winter storm kit in your vehicle.
By following these precautions, you can help ensure the safety and well-being of your household and pets during the upcoming cold snap.
