Cold Front Approaching

February 1, 2022

A cold front is set to move into Texas and temperatures will be dropping Thursday. Some icy patches maybe present on bridges and overpasses, even outside of the freezing rain zones. This event is not nearly as extreme as the record-breaking February 2021 freeze. However, if you or a loved one lives in the effected areas, or you have concerns always remember the 4-Ps:

People: Check on your neighbors and loved ones.

Pets: If you are cold, so are they. Bring them in and keep yourselves warm together.

Plants: Cover your plants to protect them from frost, if possible relocate them.

Pipes: Insulate your exposed pipes and drain your hoses and disconnect them.

Also remember to never use a gas stove or heater to heat the inside of your home. Run your generators outside of your home and use caution when using candles or lanterns. Stay informed, stay safe,   and stay warm.
