Frost On A Vehicle In Concord – Winter 2023
Cold conditions are descending on the region, according to a revised forecast issued by the National Weather Service that extends a freeze watch to the entire Bay Area.
The update also includes a forecast for rain on Friday.
A freeze watch will be in effect from 2-9 a.m. Wednesday, with lows expected in the 20s and 30s for most of the area.
Forecasters revised their initial forecast Monday morning, which had called for freezes to be isolated to the interior valleys.
People who are unsheltered and marginally sheltered will be at risk, weather officials said. Pets are also at risk due to the cold temperatures.
The low temperatures could wreak havoc, potentially causing damage to crops, vegetation, and outdoor plumbing—this is the time when a plumber is needed.
Residents are urged to start now to protect plants and outdoor water pipes. Pipes should be wrapped and drained or allowed to drip slowly.
People with in-ground sprinkler systems should drain the systems and cover above-ground pipes.

Last time this type of article included the consideration of pets and animals.

… just sayin’.
One should not need an official freeze warning to consider taking good care of their pets.
Just sayin’..
You’d be surprised. Most people in Clayton dont even bother bringing their Cats inside at night regardless of a freeze warning. Then, they wonder what happened when their Cat never showed up the next day because it was eaten by a Coyote.
That’s really sad. Some folks should just not keep pets. My dog is my best bud and treated like a family member.
Cats should never be allowed to roam. It is terrible on so many levels.
@OH, PLEASE……This cat always roamed around……

Looks like it does include a line about that unless this was updated and they didn’t note that.
Any suggestions on stray cats? I’ve been spaying and nurturing a colony near my home. I can’t bring them all in my house; I did bring a few I could cage but any suggestions on the others?
