* Low temperatures just below freezing are forecast for most
  places that are generally along/north of the I-10/12 corridor
  Tuesday morning. Freezing temperatures are forecast to last
  several hours Tuesday morning moving above after sunrise. Residents
  should take action to protect sensitive vegetation and ensure
  outdoor pets have access to warm shelter.

* According to the National Fire Protection Association, nearly
  half of all home fires occur between the months of December,
  January and February, with the increased risk attributed to the
  use of home heating devices such as portable space heaters and
  fireplaces. Those planning to use such devices during this cold
  snap should safety recommendations - such as using a screen and
  keeping a fire extinguisher near all fire places; and ensuring
  all space heaters are plugged directly into wall outlets and
  placed on level surfaces at least 3 ft from any flammable
  materials.
