Y’all, it’s gon’ get cold tonight. Below freezing, in fact. The Weather Channel currently has us pegged at 28 degrees Fahrenheit, which means we finally are getting the winter we deserve.
Also, your pipes could freeze. Be sure to take appropriate action. Line your pipes, leave a drip in the sink and tub. Here’s a breakdown of what to do to prepare. You should also check for cracked windows and drafts in your house and apply the necessary added insulation. For those old highland homes, you can even add temporary window film over your windows for the winter. I used to do this on my South Highland elevated home and it worked great.
Once you’ve done that, break out the extra blankets, grab some wood, start a (responsible) fire, or head to the local dive for some more biological warmth.
When going out, be sure to bundle up.
Wipe those drippy noses and stock up on Kleenex and Sudafed (but not too much), because Winter has arrived.
