❄️🥶 San Antonio and surrounding areas - PLEASE SHARE 🥶❄️
PROTECT THE FOUR P’S: PEOPLE, PETS, PIPES, & PLANTS. 🧒🧒🐱🐕🐶🚰🚰🪴🪻🌱
People: Keep warm, stay inside, if possible. If you need to go out, dress in layers and wear hats, gloves and an appropriate coat. Avoid overexertion, as cold weather puts added strain on your body.
Pets: Bring pets inside, and move other animals or livestock to sheltered areas. Keep adequate food and water available.
Pipes: Disconnect outdoor hoses; drain and store in protected area. Wrap exposed faucets and pipes - including those outside the house or in unheated crawl spaces, attics, garages and other areas.
If you do have a pipe burst, quickly turn off your water supply.
Plants: Bring potted plants inside or store in garage near interior wall to provide extra warmth and protection from wind.
For cold-sensitive outdoor plants, put down extra mulch and consider covering with a cloth fabric of some kind to shield the plants from wind and frost.
