Default older homes in cold weather

how the older homes handle these temps? Does your heater constantly
run? Pipes stay safe? Etc... Do you have to do anything special
to your home for these kinda temps?


I think it is less usual to find older homes that weren't retrofitted
with better insulation etc. So if they did a good job there isn't much
difference compared to a newer house.
