Located in Cypress, drip the faucets or not? If so, what time to start the drip, now or just before going to bed?
It can't hurt anything so why not ifnyoure worried about it.
Depends on if you're an old that goes to bed at 8. If not, your use between flushing toilets, running a dishwasher, etc would be fine until bed. Even then, I'd just set an alarm to wake up and run the faucets about 1 and 4 am.

I overheard something about a "heinous bleaching", is that the same thing?

5-7am at daybreak are the coldest parts of the day

If we don't lose power, and shouldn't (Knock on wood) you shouldn't have to drip faucets. But if it helps you sleep in peace, just do a lite drip before bed.
I never lost power last year, yet had a pipe freeze and burst. Of course it was due to poor plumbing design and further exacerbated by lack of insulation on the pipe. I have an attached porte corchere and a pipe above my kitchen runs for a couple of feet within the porte corchere before going back into my exterior wall down to my refrigerator, kitchen sink and then on to a hose bibb. Sad thing was that I put my faucet on drip, but for some reason turned the handle all the way to hot.Seabreeze said:MarylandAG said:

It has been interesting seeing all the solutions my neighbors have come up with.
One cut a liter coke bottle in half and duct taped it to their wall around the spigot

My wife, bless her heart, wrapped the gas meter while I was away. Better everything than nothing.
Ya definitely don't want that gas line to freeze
I noticed my neighbor didn't wrap his gas line this year, after I informed him in '21 that I didn't think we would see -300.
Great, now it's going to be -300

You should probably drip your faucets in that case

Just took a walk around my neighborhood, an older neighborhood by the way, and shocked to see 4-7 houses out of around 60, still with water hoses connected and maybe only 60% with outside faucets covered.
Maybe they have their water off already?
Or people were busy. I didn't fully winterize everything till it hit 29.
But with that many probably not
My neighbor spent a ton of money planting new stuff a month ago and did absolutely nothing to try to protect it. Could have kept themselves warm lighting those dollars on fire.
I like to add the bags of mulch to help break the wind and add as an insulator. Then once it warms up, open them up and spread through all my dead plants.
If you didn't soak that towel or the mulch in bleach I don't think it works.

Main line into the house?

People we walk amongst everyday. Don't worry they breed and make 4 more just like them.
Yes, main line into house. It's wrapped with several layers of tape from years past and again this season. Then have a bib cover over the spigot that has a thick piece of foam inside a tightly covered 'trash bag' like material. Then the old bedspread cover and the mulch bags. Worked in 2021.
Plants may have a year warranty for replacement
It's cold as **** outside and the wind is brutal. That is all.
Omg it's cold at My house alert the news!
Ingenuity at its finest

And they'll replace the dead shlt and keep their front yard up.

Our power lines are buried.
Trying to stay positive.
At some point there are overhead wires that feed your underground lines. And wind slapping lines together isn't good.
