Please prepare now to limit or avoid any time outdoors in the extreme cold expected in the coming days. It will also be important to check in on friends, neighbors, and family members who may be vulnerable. Check weather.gov/safety/cold for important information about extreme cold safety, extreme cold watches and warnings, how to be prepared, what to do during extreme cold, and tips for what to do after extreme cold.

From weather.gov:

Check the Forecast at www.weather.gov or your favorite weather app, station, etc. – Make checking the forecast part of your regular routine so you'll know when to expect cold weather.

Adjust Your Schedule: If possible, avoid being outside during the coldest part of the day, typically the early morning.

Try to find a warm spot for your children while waiting for the school bus outside.

Protect Your Pets, Livestock and other Property: If you have pets or farm animals, make sure they are not overly exposed to extreme cold and have plenty of food and water that has not frozen.

Take precautions to ensure your water pipes do not freeze.

Know the temperature thresholds of your plants and crops.

Fill up the tank – Make sure your car or vehicle has at least a half a tank of gas during extreme cold so that you can stay warm if you become stranded.

Dress for the outdoors even if you don't think you'll be out much.

Update your winter car survival Kit.
