Just a quick question ..I am in Oklahoma City, where we are under a severe ice storm right now. We dont have power at our house (we are staying at a friends house), so I havent been home since Monday when my order was supposed to arrive.
How do our jars hold up to severe cold weather? Its been down into the 20s here. The boxes should be on my porch, out of the way of water/precip, so its just the cold im worried about. We are going to try to go check on stuff tomorrow, but right now there are downed power lines and trees so we cant get to our house. Any info would help, thanks!!

I've had my candles in the garage during our freezes, with temps hoving just at or below 0, and the candles have done just fine. :)
Be safe!

EEK!! Good Luck! I think you will be fine. Glass wont break and the wax may contract but that will readjust one it comes back to room temperature...I don't think you will notice it. Better cold than warm....
Enjoy your little get away!
