I had to put triple pane windows on my house to prevent that kind of thing. I even thought about quad panes, but a friend tried that and wasn't happy with the glass distortion he got from that many layers. Maybe he just got poor glass.

Dusty,

The moisture in the air will condense on the cold glass and freeze. The soup will help keep Ed warm cuz it's cold outside. ;)

This only occurs in our house on the one 130 year old window salvaged from the farmhouse. It's in the stairway coming up from the basement.

I was stationed at CFB Bagotville in northern Quebec province Canada from 1980 to 1984.The first winter I was there (80-81) we had a roughly 2 week cold spell that saw night time lows -30 to -35 every night and daytime highs -20 to -25 every day. Those were absolute temperatures not wind chill. I had a block heater in my car and had it plugged in all night one day and it still froze the radiator enough so the car over heated before the water would circulate. Fortunately it didn't break anything.

The houses did not have a normal storm door. The storm doors were actually a second normal entry door. You could put a 6 pack of beer on the porch and if you left it there more than 10 minutes it would be frozen solid. Don't ask me how I know. :D

Every winter there we had those kinds of temperatures but not for that long time.
