Yep. Drip the faucets, blast the heat. They’re predicting 19 degrees as a low in Pensacola next Saturday night. I thought that weather-wise, we wouldn’t have Maryland (my old state) in Florida. I guess I was wrong.

My fridge actually does have a water line, so I suppose I could draw a cup of water from the fridge every once in a while to keep that line moving.

Our house is from 1900, so the kitchen was added at a later date. We have nothing but a crawl space under the kitchen that needs insulation, but that never seems to get done for some reason.

Beau blows a fan in there to keep air moving, which helps to some degree. We’re going to be VERY cold this upcoming week and either no snow, or a LOT...they haven’t decided, yet. ;)

Our fridge water line will freeze, as will the kitchen sink pipes, so I do the same as you with the dripping water, which the cats find fascinating...

If the heat in your home stays above 32° no need to worry about freezing fridge lines. Those lines embedded in an exterior wall though may have a small issue unless kept above freezing. Open cabinet doors where those pipes are located and you’ll be fine.
