> how does dripping help against freezing? the flow of fluid i know helps keep it from freezign but dripping isnt really flowing alot of water in the pipes… if its cold enough, rivers freeeze over and they flow more than dripping pipes

it just works. I used to live with my cousin and had well water, and we had to do it every winter. Tho it probably never got this cold…burrrrrrr
