Winter has arrived with a gust, literally. It came today with a gust of wind. Temps are suppose to go down tonight. Any tips on how to keep one's indoor plumbing from freezing? Another question, if you drip water should your drip from the Hot or Cold faucet?

Yes, pipes will freeze inside even with heat. Depends on a number of factors, if the temps outside drop below freezing. Dripping does help. Seems everyone agrees you should use cold water.

It can drop below freezing. But at least so far, no snow here.

Make sure you let your taps drip water from them and that should stop them from freezing

I never thought of that. I would say either one as long as it is moving. It is 25 here right now and my pond is still running out there. GOod luck!!
