Default icicle forming on outdoor faucet

there was one time in the summer where it appeared to leak at the point
where the faucet attaches to the pipe, but there has been nothing since.



Another case of 21st century logic reasoning.
Pray tell, What do icicles form from? I am
thinking ,water. So you must have a leak.


==========================
Where do Icicles come from?
==========================
(a) Angry gods?
(2) Icicle Factories?
(c) Santa's Reindeer during a test flight?

Anyways.... I put a insulating cover over the faucet to get thru this
10 degree night.

I'm surprised there are no turn off valves to either faucet? I grew
up in a 1910 house that had them, why not this 1970ish house? Is
there a statute of limitations on criminal home building?

BTW: house has copper pipes.
