Frost and freeze conditions could kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution. Secure outdoor objects. Wear protective clothing such as a hat, facemask and heavy gloves or mittens if you have plans to be outdoors. Keep pets indoors as much as possible.
