Snow, blizzard-like conditions, and negative temperatures will start Wednesday. Stay indoors when possible and remember to bundle up when out and drive carefully. If you have outdoor dogs and cats, do not leave them outside. Bring them inside where it’s warm. If you have other outdoor animals, besides providing them a warm shelter as well, remember to use straw as bedding, not hay nor blankets (which retain moisture and cold).
