Protect the 4 P's of Cold Weather

Freezing rain is expected to develop west to east Saturday evening into early Sunday morning and overnight and increasing in coverage and accumulation rates. Significant ice impacts are expected across the Hill Country into portions of I-35 corridor. Travel will be near-impossible. Avoid travel if possible. Ice weighing down tree limbs could cause branches to break in the Ice Storm Warning area. Hard freezes are forecast Saturday night, Sunday Night, and Monday Night, with the Hill Country and some portions of Austin metro forecast to remain freezing through midday Tuesday. Very dangerous wind chill values in the single digits to lower teens are forecast Saturday night through Monday morning.

An arctic airmass will arrive Friday night, bringing hazardous temperatures across all of South Central Texas this weekend. Sunday morning, wind chills could drop a few degrees below zero over a few areas with much of the area in the single digits and lower teens. Now is the time to think about preparing yourself and your home for colder weather.

Freezing Rain is the Worst. Freezing rain is more dangerous than snow, as ice can form on pavement. Watch out for falling branches and powerlines. Use extreme caution if there is, or recently was, freezing rain.

Protect people, pets, pipes and plants from cold weather. People: 1) Minimize time outdoors. 2) Prepare for power outages. 3) Check on the elderly and other vulnerable people to make sure they're ok. Pets: 1) Keep your pets warm, dry and indoors as much as possible. 2) Ensure their food and water doesn't freeze. 3) Limit outside time and keep them bundled up. Pipes: 1) Insulate pipes if possible. 2) Open up sink cabinets to expose pipes to heated air. 3) Disconnect hoses & turn off water to sprinklers. Plants: 1) Know their temperature thresholds. 2) If possible, cover them before the cold weather sets in to help retain some heat.
