-Check tire pressure, antifreeze levels, heater/defroster, etc.
-Learn how to shut off water valves for potential pipe bursts.
-Check on the elderly.
-Bring pets inside.

How Should I Dress?

-Wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing, and a hat.
-Mittens, snug at the wrist, are better than gloves.
-Cover your mouth to protect your lungs from extreme cold.
-Try to stay dry and out of the wind.
