Rabun County under Freeze Watch

The National Weather Service reports a freeze watch remains in effect from late Monday, March 20, 2023 night through Tuesday, March 21, 2023, morning for the Foothills and Piedmont of North Carolina, Upstate South Carolina, and Northeast Georgia, including Rabun County.  Frost and freeze conditions will kill crops, and other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.  Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold.  To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly.  Those that have in-ground sprinkler systems should drain them and cover above-ground pipes to protect them from freezing.
