If you have an outside water faucet, cut the water off from the inside, then run it until it's empty so it does not freeze on you

True. I use my over winter to fill up water for chickens and it's been so mild I haven't turned mine off yet

Some are frost-free. The valve guts are inside the heat envelope of the building. When you turn it off, the remaining water dribbles out then they're good. More often seen in commercial buildings.
