Thanks for the replies. A plumber did say something about it being ok to shut off the water and he mentioned the closed water heating system. It confused me that the furnace guy didn’t know that. Our house was built in 1981 so it is getting up there in years. We were in The Villages last January and part of February and we were nervous about pipes freezing as there were some nights in RI below zero. It will be a little less stressful worrying about our place if we can shut the water off. An even better idea would be to sell RI but I would have to convince my better half and that would be difficult (impossible) with a third grandchild on the way. Owning two houses is a pain.
