These are the faucets coming out the sides of the house and one is hooked up to a hose .... I have some of those styrofoam cap thingys. To late?
Frostfree hydrants shut off inside the wall so they will drain and not freeze. However, they WILL NOT drain unless the hose is removed (there are some models that do, but most don't) and are subject to freezing. I doubt that a freezing drizzle would be enough to cause your frostfree to freeze. However, if they froze and broke, they will not leak unless they are turned on. Remove the hose now. I never use those insulation thingys.
