A Hard Freeze Warning is issued when temperatures are forecast to fall to near 10 degrees or colder. These very cold temperatures may cause uninsulated and exposed pipes to freeze and burst. To prevent freezing of pipes, either wrap exposed pipes or allow faucets to slowly drip. Ensure that irrigation systems are turned off and winterized. Also remember to provide adequate shelter or arrangements for outdoor pets.
