re: Leaving town before an Arctic freeze

I wouldn't leave any water dripping inside the house if no one is home.

During the big freeze a couple or three years ago, I was working out of state. I went home and got the water running more than a drip.

When I returned after things thawed, the pipes had not frozen, but the drains did. Every damn thing overflowed and turned into a sheet of ice in every room. Had to replace floors and drywall that had soaked water up.
