Is there a nice toasty layer of snow covering the ground where you are? That will help keep it warm. Also, a deep well is warmed by the earth, which, depending on where you are, is already frozen to about 4 feet deep. Your house pipes, however, not so much. Maintain a slow drip from your faucets.

Thanks. Yes, I have a good foot of snow over it with a heated basement.

And shovel snow up against the base of your house for extra insulation. Cover about a foot of siding above the foundation. The foundation/ wall interface is a bad spot for leaks and there are lots of pipes in the basement ceiling area.
