"These two sites contain just
about everything you need to know about winter storms and the care
of poinsettias," said Jane Scherer, U of I Extension urban programs
specialist.
The sites -- the Winter Storm
Resource Center and the Poinsettia Pages -- are located on
Extension's Urban Programs Resource Network at
http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu.
"The winter storm site is
located at
http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/winter/ and has things everybody
needs to know at this time of the year," said Scherer. "You can find
current information on the weather, airport conditions, the Illinois
forecast by counties and a Doppler radar image.
"There is also information
about winter driving conditions. You can also find information on
dealing with frozen pipes, ice dams and snow removal."

"If
you have a poinsettia plant and aren't sure how to take care of it
or how to get it to reflower or have any of a number of questions
about the plant's history and safety, this site can provide
answers," said Scherer.
