What to expect
According to the NWS, sub-freezing temperatures are expected Thursday night. The cold can kill or damage outdoor plants and break unprotected outdoor plumbing.
"To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. Those that have in-ground sprinkler systems should drain them and cover above ground pipes to protect them from freezing," the NWS said.
Here are some tips from a local plumber you can do to protect your home during the freeze:
