Should pipes be wrapped tonight or could it wait until tomorrow?

Are you pipes exposed to the weather?

If they are not, then no.

If you’re a one story on a slab, you’re fine. Big myth there.

Pier and beam, or two story, best to wrap outdoor exposures and let a little water trickle.

You are probably good with dripping them tonight and tomorrow night, but for Tuesday and Wednesday nights, drip, wrap, heat crawl spaces, etc.

Wrap tonight to preserve some warmth.

You don't even need to wrap your pipes tomorrow. Quit being a worry wart.

Just take the water hose off the spigot outside and wrap the spigot in a towel.

And then turn the inside sinks on to a steady drip/light trickle (cold water, no need for hot water).

That's really all there is to it.

Get you some Freeze Misers for your outdoor faucets. These never fail. As soon as it gets close to freezing they start to drip. The colder it gets, the more it drips to keep water moving through the faucet and pipes. I have four on my house

Cool idea, but I ain’t paying $30 a piece when I can spend a few bucks on insulation that is just as effective.
