Does Doc have a crawl space, slab foundation or basement?
IMHO, I don't think we're due any more extended cold snaps where pipes could freeze, just chilly nights. I'm a little south of you guys, but generally the weather is the same - if a day later. I'm going to predict, based on nothing, there'll be three more extended cold periods (40-50 degree days, 20-30 degree nights) lasting a couple of days each from now until mid-May.

I'm on a slab. does that affect the pipes freezing?
Less likely to freeze than crawl space, more likely to freeze than basement; generally, not too likely to freeze.
