With temperatures going down to possible single digits there is still some good news. The good news, at least right now, is in the Texarkana area we have only about at 20% of seeing a bit of snow, sleet or freezing rain on Thursday afternoon. Let's also hope that there are no power outages like a couple of years ago.

Check on People, Pets, Pipes and Plants

Please remember to check on friends and neighbors, especially the elderly. Bring your pets inside. I know they have a fur coat but it's still way to cold outside for any pet. Have a heart and try to at least get them to shelter in the garage with a small safe heater if possible and warm bedding.
