There are some very important reminders when temperatures get this low.
Know hypothermia symptoms. Those include: confusion, dizziness, severe shivering.
Know frostbite symptoms: numbness, greyish, white, blue, yellow skin.
Avoid frozen pipes, make sure to let pipes drip and wrap outdoor pipes.
Do not use a stove or oven to heat your home.
If you have a space heater, make sure it is on a hard flat surface away from lose clothes or bedding.
Bring your pets indoors. Pets are like children, if you wouldn't leave your kids outside, don't leave your pets out either.
Finally, check on your neighbors and the elderly in these cold times.
