Here in Upstate, people should run their water before they go to bed. We have plenty of services just below the frost line that cause havoc.

Plenty of good insulation available for inside pipes exposed to cold.

Question: Temps here in Pa dropping fast tonight....is there a special way to run it? Hot? Cold Both? and for how long?

I will be leaving cupboard doors open also but still...I was frozen for two days and nights in this last chill.

My furthest bathroom faucet is dripping right now to prevent it from freezing. I have a well but the main line runs the length of the house along the outside wall and can freeze if it gets cold enough.

I’ll also throw a load of laundry in the washer right before I go to bed to run the water on and off for a little while just to be sure.
