Grew up in New England and quite literally never thought of turning our water off. My family never did, and friends didn’t either, it wasn’t even a discussion. When i first moved to VA I was very confused about why every landlord I had was incredibly insistent about us doing it all the time. Eventually chatted with a neighbor who told me that since the houses down here aren’t built for the cold in the same way, and a single cold day can do you in. Now I’m way too paranoid about it 🤣
