While rare, Texas does experience freezing temperatures. The idea of freezing temperatures may send you into a tizzy, but with a little preparation we’ll be ready to take on whatever mother nature brings our way.
Winter closures
Water fountains are shut off for the winter.
Protect the Four P’s
When temperatures drop, it’s important to remember to protect the Four P’s (People, Pets, Pipes and Plants).
People
Limit your time outside. If and when you go outside, be sure to wear weather appropriate clothing or layer warm clothing to avoid hypothermia (abnormally low body temperature).
Check on family, friends and neighbors who may need help winterizing.
Pets
Pets should be brought indoors or provided with a warm place to sleep. If you are cold, they are too!
Pipes
Protect outdoor facets and pipes with covers.
Let cold water faucets drip indoors and open cabinets with plumbing to circulate heat to prevent pipes from freezing.
Plants
Cover plants that will not withstand the cold or bring them indoors.
Driving Conditions
Always use extra caution when driving in any type of inclement weather.
Remove ice from your vehicle before you drive.
Slow down. Rain, sleet, and snow can limit visibility, giving drivers less time to recognize danger.
Ensure windshield wipers, headlights and tail lights are functioning properly.
Overpasses and bridges pose the greatest risk of icing. Take extra precautions when driving over them.
Report downed powerlines or trees by calling 979.822.3777 or online.

Stay Warm and Safe
While heating your home this winter, be sure to follow these importance safety tips:
Test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms at least once a month.
Plug space heaters directly into the wall outlet. Never use an extension cord.
Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet away from heat sources.
Remove lint and dust from electric heaters permanently installed in the wall or ceiling. Lint and dust will burn!
Never use an oven, stove top, patio heater, outdoor fire pit or grill to heat your home.
If you have to use a generator, keep it outside and as far away from your house as possible to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
If you use a fireplace, make sure it has a sturdy screen to stop sparks from jumping out.
Ashes should be cool before putting them in a metal container. Keep the container a safe distance away from your home.
