What happens when an exterior faucet drips in Minnesota in the Winter? You get an Ice Dome. 

Two things you want to make sure of is that faucets are completely shut off and that you don't leave garden hoses hooked up. It is important that the anti frost valve is allowed to drain properlytp prevent damage to the faucet.
