Last night's big chill and near-freezing temperatures coming tonight could mean trouble for pipes and plants without a few simple precautions.
When temperatures dip below freezing, let faucets drip a little to keep water flowing.
Open cabinet doors in your kitchen and bathroom to get more heat around the pipes. Pipe insulators, available for about $2 at a hardware store, may also be helpful.
Bring indoor plants inside. If you can't, be sure to cover them with a light blanket, sheet or a plant insulator.
Plastic coverings can damage plants.
Covering flower beds with mulch can also help trap heat as well.
