A significant drop in temperatures is expected across parts of the United States this weekend, prompting the National Weather Service to issue freeze warnings and frost advisories. Residents in affected areas are urged to take immediate action to protect sensitive plants and outdoor plumbing.
Which Areas Are Affected?
Freeze warnings are in effect for Franklin and Clinton counties in New York, Essex County in Vermont, and Coos County in New Hampshire. Sub-freezing temperatures, potentially as low as 25 degrees Fahrenheit, are anticipated in these regions. Frost advisories have also been issued for Oneida County, NY, and other areas in northern and central Vermont, where temperatures are expected to dip into the low to mid 30s.
What Does This Mean For You?
These conditions pose a serious threat to crops, sensitive vegetation, and unprotected outdoor plumbing. The National Weather Service warns that a hard freeze could kill crops and damage plants. Even a light frost can harm sensitive outdoor vegetation.
How to Protect Your Plants:
- Cover Up: Before sunset, cover sensitive plants with sheets or blankets to help retain heat.
- Bring Them Inside: If possible, move potted plants indoors for the night.
- Protect Plumbing: Insulate exposed outdoor pipes to prevent freezing and potential damage.
Understanding Freeze Warnings and Frost Advisories:
Freeze warnings are typically issued when temperatures are expected to fall between 29 and 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Frost advisories are issued when conditions are favorable for frost development, usually when temperatures are 36 degrees or less. It's crucial to heed these warnings and take preventative measures to protect your property and plants.
