Re: [at-l] Another cold weather question

The best way to treat water when it is below freezing is to boil it. Bring to 
a boil and boil for one minute. NO chemical treatment needed.  Before going 
to sleep fill your cooking pan with water, then in the morning put it on the 
stove and bring to a boil.
