The warming stations will remain open until 2:00 pm. 

Also, remember the 4 P’s when temperatures drop to near or 
below freezing:

People - Be sure to check-in on friends and family over the ages of 65

Pets - keep all outdoor pets inside for the immediate future

Plants - same for plants, frigid temperatures are just as deadly for houseplants

Pipes - make sure to leave faucets running with a slow leak overnight to prevent pipes from bursting
