Traveling in the winter with a TT

We are considering traveling from Arkansas to Omaha, Nebraska in the next week or so. We are going to watch the weather, but, if the forecast is wrong. It would be nice to have some wisdom from experienced folks. Our Flagstaff 25FKS has an all season package to include tank heaters.
1. When going down the road our TT does not have heat on, how do you keep pipes from freezing while pulling?
2. Tips for if we get caught on snowing/slick roads.

    From JDC1, "Driving on black ice, towing a trailer, is like being pulled on an inner tube by your drunk buddies. ". Best description that I've heard, and VERY true. You maybe OK but those chances are not in your favour. Do not do anything suddenly, braking, acceleration, steering. You are best to wait it out in a safe location,

    Driving on black ice, towing a trailer, is like being pulled on an inner tube by your drunk buddies. Just follow in the tracks of big rigs and hope for the best.
