We knew it was coming, but did it have to be so soon?! Wednesday AND Thursday morning, temperatures will be at or below freezing for most of the area.

“Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold,” the bulletin reads. “To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. Those that have in-ground sprinkler systems should drain them and cover above-ground pipes to protect them from freezing.”
Areas north of Walker County, including Marion, Winston and Cullman counties have been placed under a freeze warning from 2 a.m. until 9 a.m. Tuesday morning.
