So it's only a problem if you leave the hose connected. Not to mention the hose is probably trashed.

I always pot a 2 way splitter between the hose and pipe and open the one side when not in use, the hose is fine, the splitters break if they freeze $3.

My daddy taught me to drain my hose every chance I get.

One thing to keep in mind with removing the hose. Many people use these fitting things that you screw on to the bib and the other end the hose and then you can snap the hoses on and off quickly like an air fitting on your compressor. They really work nice, BUT the part that goes on the bib some of them have a check valve inside. You have to remove that quick connect also for the winter.
Don’t ask me how I know this.

Anybody can do it right, experience come from fixing mistakes.
Makes you wonder about people with years of experience.
