In a couple days the temperatures will be above freezing, but yeah.

I need to look into insulating the pipes better. Lagging/heat tape.

Yes you do.

I’m assuming you’re on well/septic and if so letting a faucet drip is expensive. Hubby (the engineer) said get an “electrical heat trace” on the pipes that get cold and insulate them. The trace provides very low electrical resistance, which warms the pipes, and insulate over that trace (you must insulate the trace!) You’re pipes will never freeze up.

Hubs says the trace isn’t expensive and the insulation is even less expensive BUT insulation alone will likely not stop the freezing as you have areas in your house that are not heated and NE gets really cold.
