I spent a winter near IF once (Arco) and it got down to 41 F below once and never got above freezing at night for 6 weeks. That was back in the 1970's tho and I've heard it is not quite that cold there lately.
Sounds like Eastern Idaho. We lived in Challis for 20 years and didn't even plug in the heat tape under the sink in the house until it got to minus 30. It used to be that Stanley was even colder than International Falls MN most winters. Not so much lately.
I guess winterizing must be something we just didn't do back in the day. Just drained the tanks and pulled the drain plugs, and never seemed to have a problem.
