The City of New Orleans announced that they will activate a citywide freeze plan in anticipation of the extreme winter weather expected to bring dangerously low temperatures below freezing starting Jan. 19.
The National Weather Service (NWS) predicts that there will be 5 to 10 hours at or below freezing for areas along and south of I-10/I-12 on Saturday, Jan. 20 and 2 to 7 hours at or below freezing for the south shore on Sunday, Jan. 21. At the lowest, temperatures could drop into the high 20s and low 30s.
Residents are encouraged to protect the “Four P’s”: people, pets, pipes and plants.
The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans recommends customers do not run their faucets unless the residence is raised off the ground.
