By the glimpse of bath/tiles I would say this is an old property, not modernised so would imagine the level of insulation and heating is poor. It could possibly be an empty property with no heating on at all to have that happen.

While this is a cool pic and quite unfortunate, it is not QUITE as bad as it looks. I saw the original site this was posted on, the person went on to explain that this was a rental house that was sitting empty with little heat circulating. So while it IS bad, it isn't like this is an occupied, heated residence and this just happened because of the intense cold or people actually had to use this bathroom.

Most of these shouldn't be happening. That's what you have heating and insulation for. I assume in these places such weather isn't common so they were unprepared ( ?

As a Russian I can tell you you're definitely not supposed to get ice *inside*, whether it's -20 or -40 C out there ;P Also, I love winter and am jealous right now, warming up to disgusting +1 here atm, mah snow is melting D:

Yoanie Déry-Boudreau 5 years ago

I live in Quebec City and while we do get -40C, we still live our lives. We do get used to it. The thing is, if temperatures drop 20 or 30 degrees Celcius from one da6 to another, we are going to be very cold, just live anyone who is not used to it. If the temperature slowly lowers to -40, then we will be fine. Houses should not have frost inside. Water should not freeze when it leaves the pipes. If your water freezes, you have to let it run constantly so if won't freeze in your pipes. My colleague used to live in Whitehorse and many days did they have to let water run. The government was issuing those tips.

Wisconsin and Minnesota do not normally get this cold this time of year. Because of the Winter Vortex, temps have been dropping a lot more rapidly. Most northern states are fully equipped to deal with snow..but when it snows so bad that even the plows are called off for fear of them getting stuck or the drivers freezing..it's colder than usual. Even here in North Carolina, having temps below freezing for several weeks in a row is unusual.

Everyone always makes fun of us in the U.S. because we make a big deal over "a little snow." But what a lot of people dont realize is that this type of weather is not normal and neither is our state of living prepared for something like this. Our houses were not built for this type of weather. Not only that, but even getting to work is difficult because we have A LOT of roads and not enough people (nor money) to maintain them. So if this type of weather comes along, even with warning, there isnt really much we can do. Salt on the roads? Sure, if you have time to sprinkle that magic all over the labyrinth of streets. Improved heating systems and home insulators? If you got the money with your broke a** paychecks. We usually have "mild four seasons", not "attack of mother nature's hormones."

M O'Connell 5 years ago

History lesson, following WWII there was an enormous boom in construction in the US. There was high demand for single-family housing, and builders built down to a price, instead of up to a level of quality. At the time, insulation was rather expensive, and energy was quite cheap, so it made sense to insulate lightly. The snow coming in through corners is down to the overlapping issues that can develop at corners: Corner framing style, is it a 4x4 post, two 2x4s, three 2x4s or something else? Is there a dead space that didn't get insulated? Is the sheathing continuous or is it made of boards with spaces between, if it is, the subfloor is likely also boards with spaces between, leaving plenty of gaps for air-infiltration.

In addition to what M O'Connell said, sometimes those old houses were filled with wood-chip insulation that gradually settles over time so the top half of the wall may literally have no insulation in it anymore, while the bottom has twice as much.

I live in Canada, and those temperatures are normal for us in the winter (every winter), no big drama about it. Our houses are well-insulated and well-heated. As a Realtor, I see plenty of houses, and I've never seen bathrooms or sinks frozen. Seeing some of the photos here, I start to think that some people in the USA are seriously neglecting the insulation and the weatherproofing of their homes. On a positive note - perhaps now they will do something about it.

Here in the US it can get pretty damn cold but all this ice in the house business isnt normal. This is the closest it's been here in over a decade. There is heating and insulation, but those things just cant compete with the temp outside. In fact, anywhere there is ice in the house means there was condensation from the heat in the house. They would have to keep the inside temp around 80 degrees for it to even FEEL like 60 degrees in there. Most of those people will probably have a very hefty bill energy bill when this is over.

Not surprising, considering we're well and truly overdue for an ice age.

We need to learn to adapt, and even have evacuation plans for this type of event in the future.

https://scied.ucar.edu/blog/why-polar-vortex-keeps-breaking-out-arctic _________________Typically, a large difference in temperature between the air of the polar vortex and the air in the mid-latitudes drives the polar jet stream. However, the Arctic is warming faster than other areas of the planet, which makes the difference in temperature less distinct.

my sympathies to your situation, midwesterners....I live in the land of weather extremes on the Texas Gulf Coast. Hurricane Harvey had flood water at my doorstep, so I got out of it light. Some people in Houston had muddy water six feet deep in their bedroom...on the second floor. I have had heat exhaustion in the summer several times just from walking from the air conditioned building to the car out on the far backside of a full parking lot. Yikes. We got so much rain in 1987 through 1988 that the inches rainfall were more than what certain parts of the Amazon get. I could do nothing as I watched seventy expensive hybrid roses drown (even though they were planted in a well-drained raised bed). To replace them at current online prices would be about $2000. So I am sympathetic to your situation. Please show similar concern the next time the US gulf coast goes through another weather catastrophe.

I've lived in the US, they don't usually build with bricks. It's all wood frame, little insulation and then a front cover of some type, plaster and boom. you have a house.
