I'd never heard of that anti-freezing technique! I imagine that you need to be chucking away a fair amount of water for that to work?
I had a freeze-up in my unheated house once. I got up in my attic bedroom and headed downstairs towards the bathroom. I heard the sound of gushing water, ran in, and found a split water pipe to the water heater spraying water out. Enough water had escaped to bring an area of the ceiling below down, but overall I was lucky. I reckon I caught it within a minute or two of the burst. If I had been out all day and come back to it then the damage could have been much worse. My house insurance covered me for nearly all of the repair costs.

Sorry CB I can see a problem you need to rob a bank to buy the XL version, before robbing another bank for more cash .Hi Mo thanks for thinking of me

ColinJ....the idea is if there is even a few drops every minute the moving water won't freeze. It isn't just the pipes in the house as the ground as well. Usually a night of cold isn't the problem, it is when you have a week or two when it doesn't get over -17C in the warm part of the day. I took my youngest to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota for a couple of weeks and -18C was the high. The Mayo is a big deal and affiliates with 2 other large hospitals. These buildings and much of downtown Rochester are connected by sky tunnels and underground walkways so you can travel around without ever going outside.

I think that @12boy might have frozen to death mid-sentence...!
Too cold for me, that is.
When I was on my final vigil for my mother it was a bitterly cold night by UK standards - about -12C. I went for a short stroll round the hospital grounds and 15 minutes of it was enough for me. It was only bearable because there was no wind.
I suppose if you are expecting bitter winters then you adapt by wearing appropriate clothing, but I was dressed for 0-10C NOT -12C!
