Freezing conditions can damage sensitive plants, requiring protection by covering them or bringing them indoors. Outdoor plumbing is also at risk, with potential pipe bursts due to freezing temperatures. Insulating exposed pipes or allowing faucets to drip slightly is advised to prevent damage. The sudden cold can also impact people’s health, necessitating layered clothing to prevent hypothermia, especially for those spending extended periods outdoors. Pet owners should provide warm shelter for their animals and limit outdoor time.
