Very cold weather is moving into the coastal Georgia area beginning Sunday, January 19, with temperatures dropping below freezing combined with a dangerous wind chill.
Remember the 4 “Ps” of winter weather safety during this cold snap.
- People: Ensure that everyone is dressed warmly before going outdoors. If you have family, friends, or neighbors who are especially vulnerable to cold weather, please check on them to be sure they’re warm and safe.
- Pets: Bring pets inside. If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them, too.
- Plants: Cover outdoor plants with cloth or bring them inside. Freezing temperatures can kill some plants.
- Pipes: Let your pipes drip. Having water move through the pipes will help prevent the water from freezing. A frozen pipe can burst causing property damage.
