One more night?

Xcel's phone recording now says that power will be restored to most of the Twin Cities outages by end of day Monday -- this morning it said EOD Sunday.

Current temperature in the house is 58 degrees. Given that, and that tonight's low temp is supposed to be 28 -- just below freezing -- do I need to worry about frozen pipes yet?

How annoying.

It's a slightly different situation, but we had a dead upstairs furnace one October when the weather was like this for a couple of days (mostly it was warmer), and pipes did not freeze. Leaving a bare trickle running isn't a bad idea, but I don't think there's much to worry about.
