Cold

With the cold weather and below 32, pipes
 become a big worry.
Drain all garden equipment with water ASAP..
Empty hoses and drain irrigation systems.

Turn on house or barn faucets to just beyond drip.
and let it run all night or until weather is above 33 degrees. 
 Make sure the faucet is the furthest from the water sources.

Open up cupboards on cold walls to add extra heat to the piping.

Cover the vents in the foundation.

If you know to where the water pipe is buried, cover the
 area with leaves, straw or snow for added insulation.
