I ended up with 6½ inches at my house and being on a side street, it
has received very little vehicle traffic. That also means no mail today
and of course none on Monday it being federal holiday.
My trash day is Monday, but it being a holiday, none of that either nor today. Checking their website, trash won't be picked up until my regular
day next week. Same applies for the recycling truck.
About 10 days ago I made an appointment for an A1C test for my doctor
for Wednesday, the 17ᵀᴴ, for 11:00 a.m. I've had an appointment for a year on the same date for my ophthalmologist at 1:30 p.m. Guess who
called awhile ago and wanted to know if I could come in at 11:00 a.m. instead?? Thankfully, I was able to go online and change that lab appointment to an earlier time on such short notice.
Main thoroughfares are clear here and my neighbor has cleaned off my
back steps. He also said he'd run up down the alley in his pickup truck
to make a path for me to walk to my car Wednesday morning. 30° is the predicted high for tomorrow and another sunny day.

Whee! No frozen pipes here; none of the indoor plumbing is on an outside wall and the two outdoor sillcocks are "frostproof".
It snowed a bit two nights ago; I did a little shoveling yesterday.
More snow on the way tonight and tomorrow; just a couple of inches.
Not enough to justify the snowblower, so more shoveling.
Next week we're supposed to have above-freezing highs and rain. That

For years, I forgot to drip both a hot and cold water pipe during below
32°F weather. Luckily, nothing happened.

within the conditioned envelope.
No, because I don't actually know if it reached below 32°F there or not.
32 outside won't freeze your pipes inside.
You should get a thermometer
This stuff is not hard.
If you have vulnerable areas get heat tape, insulation etc.

True. Depends also on inside temperature because
copper is the 3rd best heat conductor and has ample
house heat to keep contained water above freezing.
You should get a thermometer
This would be the most accurate, but once it says
frozen, damage may already have been done.
This stuff is not hard.
True. To determine how much water has been frozen within the pipe
only requires a four-dimensional integration. Using cylindrical
coordinates might make the math easier, depending on how comfortable
you are with trigonometry.
If you have vulnerable areas get heat tape, insulation etc.
You can also just put a trickle current through the pipe,
but best speak to an EE for the required power.
Perhaps you can ask JK before he leaves us next month.
