Keep cabinet doors open where there are water lines. Keep a drizzle of water running. Will help keep pipes from freezing That all sure helps

One of you must have came down and forgot to take this back with yall!! It's all wasted down there, not a sled, toboggan, or a hill in the state.  improvise , car hood flipped over , behind an atv
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I would concentrate on wrapping the hose bibs up with a towel or burlap, three or four layers. Those are where your hose goes into your house. Wrap up the metal on the outside of the house. Your hose bibs are probably not made for cold temps and will freeze pretty fast. The goal is to insulate the metal. Take the hose OFF! Drain the hose and leave it on the garage floor.
Keep all the inside doors open, cabinets open, drip the faucets, change the forced air filter (probably working very hard right now). Headlamps, flashlights, charge the electronics, put the cars in the garage.
Check on the neighbors. Just some of the normal stuff to do, in case you have never done it before. Outside hose bib is first priority. If the hose is attached, it will help freeze your pipes. Unhook the hose.
My Super Wide will pull your broken down 4 stroke, up a hill backwards, with you on it!

That looks like a heavy frost here in the fall.

Talked to an old buddy today that lives near New Orleans. He said there are neighborhood kids that have never seen snow, and are having a blast playing in it. They are trying to find stuff to use for sleds, because of course there are none down there. And of course they're feet are cold and wet because nobody has snow boots. Probably a once in a lifetime event. Yep! Some people go on vacation to go snow skiing and sledding, so they have some stuff. But, we don’t, so we do the best we can!
