Prevent Pipes from Bursting...and Fix Burst Pipes!

Jan 27th 2011 3:59PM I have an outdoor garden hose spigot. It has the valve about 6 feet into the house- no separate shut off valve. The outdoor know shuts off the water supply inside - no water from valve to outdoor spout.
There is a trickle of water leaking out of the spout. I think the valve must have small leak allowing a very small trickle. It is freezing when it hits the ground. Is there anything I should do now - or should I wait for Spring & warmer weather to replace the valve.
Thank you for your help.
