I've considered that, but... Salt would only lower it to maybe -4 F. It would help people use this in some more areas, but not fool-proof at dead-of-winter temps here.
Not sure, either, if I would want potential salt-water ready to burn and corrode whatever it might drip on

This idea is intriguing, and would likely work, especially if using a cheap vodka

I initially thought of that, but the idea in the link is to fit a bottle through a hole a specific size, and I fear the change in the bottle's overall diameter with the water freezing would cause problems.
Your freezer isn't gripping the bottle in a leakproof grip through a roof
I do like the vodka idea, though - clarity nearly equal to or the same as water, and protection down to a theoretical -50 F or more
with no major corrosive properties!
Thanks to all for bouncing ideas around - and a big thumbs-up
