Most of our viewers already know there is some frigid temps on the way the next couple of days. With potential for sub-zero temperatures, it is recommended to take certain precautions against the cold. If going outside, wear layers of clothing – not just one big coat. Make sure your vehicle has plenty of gas if traveling. If using room heaters, keep an eye on them and don’t let them have anything near-by that would catch on fire. Stay in touch with family and friends to insure they’re keeping warm.  Make sure your water pipes are insulated and possibly leave a pencil lead size stream running to help prevent freezing.  Make sure pets are inside or provisions are made for outside stays that will keep them warm (warm garage etc) .  If possible, have a safe alternative heating source for your home in case of power outages which means if using a fuel heater, it should be well ventilated to the outside.
