Freeze Warning

What do you guys do to your boats when there is a hard freeze like is expected later this week?
My boat stays on the trailer at Spring Creek and unfortunately hasn't been in the water in about 6 weeks so I'm fairly certain there isn't any water in the foot, but I forgot the Stabil the last time I added 5 gallons of gas to it.
Is there anything I should do?

Wunderground's Friday overnight forecast for St. Marks predicting low of 30 degrees. You should be fine but adding a fuel stabilizer the next time you go coastal is probably a wise move if the boat doesn't get used for extended periods.

I just read this today on another boating website.
"I always heard and lived by the 24* for 24 hours. If it's getting down to 28 outside for a low temp and back up to 40 in the day should be fine."
