The relevant data here would be longest sustained below freezing temps, not absolute. He acknowledged it normally gets below freezing, just not for this long. Which is critical, since water takes quite a while to lose its heat.
(Anecdotally, I have family there that had a pipe burst in their house, which they've been living in for more than 25 years without any issue.)
