Cold weather can lead to frozen pipes and expensive plumbing bills. So while the daytime temperatures are going to be warmer, many plumbers are urging people to take a "better safe than sorry" approach and drip their faucets at night.

With more frigid temperatures on the way, it's important to make sure your home, particularly your pipes, are ready for the cold. As the mercury drops, local plumbers often start to get calls about frozen or burst pipes.
