Burst Pipes

Blue skies in the morning. Water rushing into the streets. Two degrees celsius below freezing (about 29 degrees fahrenheit) freezes water in exposed pipes. Almost all pipes are exposed. Ice takes up more space than liquid water does. We set a faucet to drip all night. Did everyone else whose pipes did not freeze do the same? Or does exposure to wind or heat leakage through the walls lmake difference? Or something else?
