    Interesting. I would imagine there would be a rather large pond in your basement (or wherever your pipes are). But I don't really know.

    Mine froze and I feel dumb now.  I had no idea you were supposed to let it run a little when it's this cold.  Oops.

    Can you get to the pipes? They sell insulation things that you can wrap around them to keep them warmer. Otherwise, just leave it on at night (just like a tiny drip). But, that doesn't ALWAYS work especially with how cold it has been lately. Sorry! I have been there and it sucks!

    They also said to leave the cabinets open under the sink.  I saw something about it on the news...just a little too late.

    You'd lose water pressure and you'd have water all over your basement (or wherever it is that the pipe froze and then burst). Not fun :( Water damage is expensive.?
