Can I just empty water tanks instead of winterizing?

I live in Portland, where the average lows don't usually go below freezing, but you never know. In regards to winterizing, can't I just empty the water heater tank and fresh water tanks and leave...

We live in Portland. What I do is blow out the lines, drain all tanks and the low point drains, and pour antifreeze in the traps. A few years ago we have a very cold week of temperatures in the teens. Most definitely there is a chance of freezing. Rare but can happen.

Yes can happen, but we usually get plenty warning.
