How well does this work in winters where the temperature is regularly below freezing?

Not sure yet, as this will be my first winter using the product. But, like any plumbing, as long as the water flows through the pipe, you shouldn't have issues with freezing or bursting pipe, maybe just turn the amount up a bit more to a fast drip.

I don't leave it on in the winter and drain the line. You would have to use heat tape and a heater for the bird bath.

I don't think it would work in winter when the temps are below freezing. I don't plan on using it in the cold months.

If you mean, will it keep you warm when the temperature is below freezing, the answer is yes. Wear them under your regular clothing and use appropriate cold weather gear when outdoors.

I have only had this product for 6 months, not all of which have been cold! I used it on a fairly regular basis during the 3ish winter months I had it and have been pleased with it. I would be fairly confident that it would hold up well. Also, the low setting is actually pretty warm so I imagine the heating element would last even longer if low ended up being sufficient for you as well.

So far the coldest it has gotten where I live is low 50's and has stuck with no problems. I don't know about the winter yet, but don't foresee an issue.

My boyfriend and I have both tried them to below zero (Fahrenheit) temperatures. They work great under snowpants and take the edge off under jeans.

I used it for the winter in Wisconsin, during our many freeze-thaw cycles. I bought it to keep pooling melt water from going down the space between my driveway and house. It has worked well for one season so far.

Worked best in warm weather, it works in cold weather but it's not as effective. This is from personal experience.

It works in any temp. It works by making a type of foam. No warm up or heat is used to make the snow

My sister has been using hers this winter. Although it hasn't been colder than the teens. It seems to be working fine.

I haven't spent a winter with mine. But my husband doesn't think it will freeze because of the small surface of contact within the metal parts. I live in a very cold area during winter too. We feel they should work year round.

Yes it works well in the winter, the canopy is very sturdy and held up with the weight of snow, it didn't seem to have any problems.

That is correct - this pad is not thermostatically controlled and, generally speaking, should not be used in above-freezing conditions. I solved that issue by adding a thermostat to the circuit. My pad now comes on and off around 25 degrees to keep my battery warm when it's cold but doesn't cook it when the weather is nice.

We have had ours 'on' constantly since we purchased it (4 mo. +) in an uninsulated 10x12 cabin on our property during this cold Ohio winter. It has performed flawlessly so far. It has kept our cabin above freezing (41 degress minimum). We are pleased with its performance.

Bill - we have used it in cold weather with very good results (32 degrees and above), but not sure about performance in sub zero weather. Sorry we couldn't be of more help. Have you called the manufacturer for input?

Not that we know of. We live in NC, so we don't get below zero temps. But, it worked perfectly when we were down to 10 degrees.

Yes, I have used it at about 35 degrees F. It's components are an electric motor, hydraulic fluids and metal and they should all work below freezing.
