We protect things outside with those styrofoam faucet cap/covers you get at Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. 4951

just as channel 13 said, leave it dripping.  Usually just one faucet in the house furthest from the inline will work.  Like mine kitchen is on the opposite side of the house from the in line.  I leave the sink dripping slowly, just enough to keep water flowing from it.  leave the COLD on not the hot. 4951

another think us rednecks use is old towels and duct tape Emoticon works great and cheap!  We leave ours wrapped year round, no one can see the pipes unless they come into the back of my yard where they shouldn't be.  I just refresh the duct tape on it. 4951

Do whatever works for your style preference, but I prefer the look of the caps. Towels and duct tape would not go with my backyard landscaping and decor. Another plus to them is if it rains, the styrofoam will keep things dry and towels can get wet and freeze. They are not expensive at all and well worth the few dollars a piece. They are very easy to attach/remove and we put them on only during freeze warning, then remove them until next time.   4951

I'm just thankful that our highs are not subzero like the poor folks up north. Wind chill factors at 40 below zero, blowing and drifting snow. That weather is so dangerous. I just pray that the electric companies up there can keep their power on for heat.  4951

I have been up north in the negatives. I can say its not the same as here.  My GMa had a fit when i walked out in Wyoming with -20 without gloves.  To me I didnt feel the coldness.  Here we feel it, it shoots straight thru you with the humidity.   Up north you can freeze to death and never know  you are. Here you can't bundle enough sometimes to keep from freezing Emoticon 4951

I lived in Ohio for 30 years and never ever once covered our outside water faucets. Why is it done down here? 4951
