| Looks like it will be close to / at freezing point tomorrow, for a few hours. Does the water valve feeding outdoor pipe need to be turned off to avoid frozen pipe? Even if it's just for a couple of hours of low-30s temps? I am out of town and would need to ask a friend to do so, but I'd rather not inconvenience him. |

| No. It might not even freeze. |

| This winter was the first year we ever turned our outside faucet off (the valve is really inaccessible). Never had a problem. |

| No. It will barely be at freezing if at all. |

| You should get the frost safe valves |
