The reason being, you want to maintain a minimal flow of water in your pipes if there's a chance your pipes could freeze. This is really important on the inlet side of your water system (this is why you also want to crack a hot water tap, even if you have power).

It could be worse, at least the Gators are hibernating.

Still no power, water company just sent alert, they are shutting down the water supply. Internet down too, just my mobile. What's worse: more icy weather rules out driving, expected to continue through friday
