Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency is urging people to take steps to keep their pipes from bursting.
Severe Weather Team 2 says as the snow moves out, the bitterly cold temperatures will remain.
Some advice to keep in mind:
- Allow a faucet to drip overnight to keep water moving and reduce freezing risk.
- Open cabinet doors in kitchens/bathrooms to circulate warm air around plumbing.
- Keep thermostat consistent day and night; avoid lowering the temperature overnight.
