I also wrap my downstairs pipe in the kitchen and bathroom.  Use cold water when you let it drip - a steady stream if it's really cold out.

I have a question - why cold water?  It seems like warm water would be better.  

So the  cold water pipe won't freeze. The warm water pipe never  freezes

 

Good advice @cherry.

A hint - If you have a home alarm system, get the temperature control feature.

 

If it gets too hot or too cold, the company will call the fire department.

 

We have one in our furnace room.

Good idea.

I think we'll look into that.
