Winter safety hinges on caution as freezing temperatures arrive. Agents advise indoors for non hardy plants, mulching for shrubs, and covering buds to prevent frost. Pets should be inside with warm bedding and fresh water, while antifreeze poses a lethal risk to dogs and cats. Humans should dress warmly, stay active, and get flu shots, with limits on alcohol to retain body heat.
