Residents in affected areas, including Eastern Clinton and Eastern Essex Counties in New York and Western Addison and Franklin Counties in Vermont, should take steps to protect tender plants from frost damage. Bringing plants indoors or covering them can provide needed protection, and unprotected pipes should be wrapped or drained to prevent freezing.
