Disconnect and drain garden hoses so the spigot is not holding water, and have any exposed supply line in an unheated space looked at. If a hose bib already drips, that is worth handling before the cold sets in rather than after.

Scale builds faster on the hot side, so in a galvanized system the hot branch narrows first. The water heater itself can also be holding sediment that restricts flow. A plumber will check both rather than assuming one.

In an older house the usual answer is that the inside of a galvanized supply line has been narrowing with scale, so the pipe carries less water than it did when it was new. Pressure that falls further when a second fixture runs points the same direction. A pressure test at the hose bib gives a plumber a starting number.

It can be. Gray polybutylene was installed in a lot of houses and additions built in the 1980s and early 1990s, and the fittings tend to be the failure point rather than the pipe itself. A plumber can identify it and talk through what replacing it involves.
