I can only echo this sensible advice, some people keep their dog out in the back yard, but while it's like this it's better to bring it in to the warm. If you don't want it to mess up the furniture then invest in an indoor dog cage or even a child gate to keep them in one room. But don't leave them out in the cold. Same goes for cats, although they generally come and go as they like, but keep an eye out for them nonetheless.
Those outside the US can watch weather chasers streaming their experiences here:

Currently one chap is at Roanoke, VA watching the snow come down, and there's two more in the Washington/Baltimore area moving into position.
Stay safe and stay warm folks.
And keep an eye on the older folks in your neighbourhood too if you can, in times like this they can struggle to survive.
