I guess you can't let your water trickle a little bit since you have no water. My dad had an addition put on his house and his water lines weren't well insulated or buried. When it got zero his pipes froze in a crawl space. Here's the deal, I hope you are already aware of this, the pipes leak when the weather warms up. Hopefully there is no water in your lines so they shouldn't leak. I would, to be safe, crack your cold water spigots just a little bit. Be aware of where your water shutoff valve is coming into your house just in case you have a leak and have to shut your water off.

Sending positive vibes that you don't have any leaks. God bless and as the Buddhists say, this too will pass.
