Re: "if you don't have a generator hookup at your current place and your water pipes are exposed, wrap them in pipe insulation so the cold air does not get to them."No, they're not exposed until they get inside my garage. The garage doesn't get as cold as the outdoors, but it does get cold. I think insulation could protect them for a couple or three days of subzero weather, but my concern is about what will happen in a lengthier power outage. Such things do happen. The 2012 derecho that hit us in Virginia cost us our power for a week (and we were more fortunate than many.) A major blizzard could have a similar result up here.

if you don't have a generator hookup at your current place and your water pipes are exposed, wrap them in pipe insulation so the cold air does not get to them.
