Leave you cold water running slowly when we are at -20 if your house isn't well insulated.

Beats burst pipes

And if you have cats, they might enjoy fresh running water ;-)

Niagara Falls freezes in the winter. Personally, I don’t think a slow drip of water coming out of your pipes is going to help anything.

I installed an interior ball shutoff valve for an exterior hose bibb today. Not sure why there wasn’t one already.

If your pipes freeze, you want the water to be dripping so pressure doesn't build up and cause the pipes to burst. Frozen pipes are a hassle, cracked pipes and a flood are a nightmare.
