Freeze Warning Tonight for Sioux Falls
Are you ready? You know. For colder weather?
I did some checking. Last year our first Freeze Warning came on October 15. We're just a couple days early this year with our first Freeze Warning set for Wednesday, October 12.
And a freeze warning can get you thinking about a lot of things. Here are a few that come to my mind.
- Tires. Yep, you'll want to keep an eye on your tires. Wintertime or cooler weather inflation can vary greatly. They're gonna be lower. Keep an eye on it.
- See those pickups pulling generators behind them lately. They're the blow out the sprinkler guys. If you haven't called them yet, give them a buzz. As a precaution, you might want to shut off your water line 'inside the house' that feeds your sprinkler system.
- Cover em or loose them. You'll probably see some bed sheets out tonight on flowers and tomato plants.
- Leaf colors. When it gets cold it seems to speed up the color change. Watch for that the next few days.
- Where's your scrapper? If you park outside, you'll want to know. While you're at it this weekend, be lining up jumper cables.
- Lower the blade when you mow. A shorter cut on the lawn will help the grass stand up under the snow that's coming.
- Empty hoses and put em away.
- Line up winter jackets.
- Line up sweatshirts and jackets.
- Bake some cookies! Nothing smells better than fresh baked cookies in the house on a cool evening!
