Yea, those really cold nights will be keeping a lot of plumbers busy. Most houses with a plumbing on an outside wall are vulnerable if the cabinets are not opened. My business partner's house has a kitchen on a outside wall. In this weather he has to put a little conventional light bulb under the sink to keep the area warm enough, and let water drip in one bathroom.
Our house has no plumbing fixtures on an outside wall for more than a few inches. And they are all fixtures in the open and the real plumbing is against an inside wall. We have had several zero or below zero days and no issues at all. The house plumbing design is great for that. The HIVAC guy must have been an apprentice or a beginner, but that is a different story.
