The Milton Police Department posted the following information about pets on it's Facebook page. Just a reminder that your animals need to be kept out of harms way during the next few days with the expected bad weather. Keep them on a leash at all times because gates can fly open and fences may collapse. Also the wind may drift the snow and dogs can some times jump over barriers. The same rules apply for your animals. Keep them indoors as much as possible and avoid injuries.
