Yes, it’s to circulate the water in your system to avoid freezing.

If it’s that cold, I’d think a heating system is gonna be running all the time anyways to maintain whatever temp is in your house. It’s gonna be close to a 100F temp diff inside/outside anyways this weekend lol

If your thermostat is pre-programmed for a ten-degree drop that pause in the action is when your pipes will freeze. OP suggests to use the "HOLD" feature to prevent this.
