Open cabinet doors under sinks.
Make sure that garden hoses are disconnected from spigots. Shut water to the spigots off inside and open outside spigot to allow water to drain.
Allow water to trickle from faucets and shower/tub fixtures.
Close off rooms that don't have plumbing fixtures and aren't needed to be used. The idea is to try to maintain heat in those that either have water or are generating heat (due to people or appliances). Open curtains on sunny side of the house to gather some warmth, although energy efficient windows will limit this benefit. Close curtains at night. Hang blankets, etc over windows to reduce heat loss.
