Turning water off and on for Winter Storm Eliot (December 22-27, 2022, or so)

I am now familiar with the water meter off/on at the street. Being on pier and beam, our pipes under the house are too exposed for us to leave the water on when temps drop to around 14 degrees (with wind chill temp of 1 degree!), as they did Friday, December 23, during Winter Storm Eliot. When the arrow points toward the house, the water is off.
All I needed on Christmas Day, when Papa Tom was at work, was a crescent wrench and some kitty cat helpers to turn the water back on temporarily while temps were above freezing. When the arrow pointed to the street, I could hear water rushing through the pipes. Yea!
