Do NOT wait until tomorrow: this is the freeze checklist that saves your home

A major winter storm is sweeping across the U.S., and forecasters say the damage — especially in areas hit hardest by ice — could rival hurricane-level impacts. That means a dangerous stretch of freezing temps, possible power outages in pockets, icy roads, and a real risk of burst pipes if homes aren’t prepped. We break down what to do before the cold hits — without panic buying — including what to stock up on, how to protect pipes (especially outdoor lines + sprinkler systems), and how to stay warm safely if the power goes out. In this guide: Storm setup + what it could impact: hard freeze, ice risk, power interruptions in some areas, hazardous travel What to buy (no panic): water, shelf-stable foods, batteries, flashlights, candles/lighters If power goes out: what to keep on hand + what NOT to do Dress for extreme cold: layers, waterproof boots, gloves, hat + face covering Hypothermia signs: adults vs babies, when to get medical help Protect your home’s pipes: disconnect hoses, cover outdoor faucets, shut off + bleed sprinkler backflow preventer Hidden pipe danger: attics + garages (low heat areas) — when shutting off your home’s water can prevent flooding Fire/CO safety: space heater rules, no ovens for heat, generators/grills stay outside STREAM ANYTIME: https://www.wusa9.com/watch FULL COVERAGE: https://www.wusa9.com/weather/
