Found icicles hanging from outside faucet.
It is the type with long stem for shutting off flow inside, instead of on the outside of the wall.
Luckily remembered having a 1/2" shark bite shutoff valve in my plumbing stuff drawer.
Sut off main valve., drain lines. Removed ceiling panel, cut plastic pipe, install shutoff valve, leave in off position. Replace ceiling panel.
In the spring will remove wall valve, figure out what is wrong then fix. No hurry now.
Next trip to hardware store will buy another shutoff valve, as well as coupling and a block off for the plumbing pile.
