Dishwasher - there is usually a reserve of water (primarily for pump prime I think) that is inside the dishwasher under the debris screen. I usually remove the screen and push a sponge in there several times until dry. Remember in the spring to throw a pitcher of water back in so the pump doesn't suck air when it is first turned on. I also disconnect the water supply to and at the dishwasher to drain it properly. That hose never drains on its own.

Washing machine - as long as you ran a full cycle there should be no water in the machine but don't forget to drain all the hoses in the back.

Water sprayer in sink - remove the sprayer unit and drain with handle depressed

Hot water tank - obviously should be drained but don't forget to turn power off to it so the elements don't burn out.
