The problem is that the pipes break when it freezes and then once it thaws, you get the leaks. I told the people in my office that the best thing to do if your pipes aren't well insulated is to keep some water running a bit. Running water doesn't freeze as quickly as standing water.
It at least gives you a fighting chance
