Regulator Freeze-up? When and Why?

In the water 45f shouldn't be a problem or worry for any regulator. I've never heard of or seen a reg freeze up at that temperature. New England waters drop to 30f, now there's a temperature to worry about, and 45f is actually our average for the year. No New England diver even considers a freeze up at 45f.

Do a search on this board and you'll see how wrong you are. First and second stages do freeze regularly, in salt and fresh water, in New England and the rest of the world.

We are talking about in SEATTLE there bubba. Of course regulators can freeze in Alaska. The guy is asking about what happens in Seattle.
Geez.

45F in Alaska is the same as 45F in Seattle. Hell it's even the same as 45F in Miami.
