State and local officials are urging people to cover their pipes and bring in their pets and plants as below freezing temps are expected later this week.
John Brown, who lives in Plano, took a moment to cover his outdoor faucets at his home.
"A faucet cover, cover your faucets it's real simple," said Steve Quintanilla with Jabo's Ace Hardware in Hurst. "It's important to know your policy now and go ahead and prepare your home for the possibility of those freezing pipes, you don't want pipes to burst and what happens is that water of course can get trapped inside and expand when it freezes and that could cause a pipe to burst," said Daniel Armbruster, a spokesperson for AAA Texas.
