Perhaps ignorant question, but how do your pipes not freeze of your power is out?

Since they're not complaining about being cold I'm guessing they have a woodstove or something

If you are on a city water source you can leave your sinks trickling and you wont freeze up. If you are on a well and don't have an alternative heat source they can freeze but the temperature would have to be a little lower than they have been.

There is no guarantee that they won't when the power is out, but fortunately it wasn't that cold & I have a portable generator to keep heat in that area.
