To prevent water pipes from freezing; wrap or drain or allow them to
drip slowly.
Take steps now to protect tender outdoor plants from the cold.

are sensitive to cold temperatures, or temporarily covering
sensitive plants with a lightweight cotton fabric (i.e., bedsheets,
thin blankets), as this will help retain heat and provide frost
protection for your plants.
