No. You've also got to get the water out of the pipes. Probably need to get a plumber in--a combination of draining and air pressure. If you try it yourself don't forget the water in the toilet bowl bases, my father in law did a house once and drained the pipes well but the standing water in the bowls froze and broke them.

If you let the water run very, very slowly ; a little more than a drip, in the lowest floor of your house it will usually keep it from freezing.
