2. Sprinkler Freeze Warning:

When the temperatures are below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, your sprinkler system is at risk of freezing. Ensure that you have winterized your sprinklers to avoid cracked pipes or additional issues. There are three important steps for caring for your sprinklers this time of year: turn off the water supply to your sprinklers, unplug the booster pump, and run the system for two minutes to reduce internal pressure.
