Get pipes ready for a hard freeze
Huntsville Utilities advises letting a pencil-lead-thin stream of water run from taps during extreme cold, opening cabinet doors so warm air reaches pipes, and disconnecting hoses and covering outside spigots. It also recommends wrapping pipes in unconditioned spaces and keeping the house at 55 degrees or warmer even when no one is home. Learn where your main shut-off valve is so you can close it fast if a pipe bursts. Source: Huntsville Utilities: Tips to Protect Your Pipes From Cold Weather
