Five U.S. states are preparing for a “massive” temperature drop on Easter Sunday.

The five states expecting significant temperature drops are:

Along with the colder temperatures, vegetation could also be affected.
“Frost and freeze conditions could kill crops, other sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing. Frost could harm sensitive outdoor vegetation. Sensitive outdoor plants may be killed if left uncovered,” the National Weather Service warned.

Here’s a reminder of what to do during severe cold:
Minimize travel.
Stay indoors during the coldest part of the day.
Keep a winter survival kit in your vehicle if travel is necessary.
Check tire pressure, antifreeze levels, and heater/defroster.
Learn how to shut off water valves in case pipes burst.
Check on elderly individuals.
Bring pets indoors.
Wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing along with a hat.
Mittens, fitted at the wrist, are better than gloves.
Cover your mouth to protect your lungs from the cold air.
Stay dry and avoid windy conditions.
Stay safe, everyone.
