I recently faced the dreaded frozen water pipes situation, and it was quite a learning experience! But fret not, I managed to handle it without any major issues. Here's what worked for me:

Thawing: Use a hairdryer or towels soaked in hot water to thaw the pipes gently.
Prevention: Keep cabinets open to let warm air circulate around pipes, and consider insulation.

Remember, patience is key! Avoid using direct heat or sharp tools to thaw pipes to prevent damage. Stay warm, stay calm, and you'll manage just fine! If you have any other tips, feel free to share.
