Think about it.

Drips of water do help under some circumstances. Don't be silly.

Of course dripping water can help but not if there is no heat. It
only works if there is a small cold spot. The water has to move fast
enough through the pipe to clear the cold area before it gives up
enough heat to freeze.

I know of it happening two hours drive west of you!

Two hours West? Are you calling Dufas a drip?
