freezeproof
Won't ice over
Freezeproof describes something designed or treated to withstand freezing temperatures without damage.
The term applies to outdoor equipment, plumbing fixtures, and plants that can survive frost: The freezeproof spigot saved us from burst pipes last winter.
Unlike freeze-resistant, which implies partial protection, freezeproof suggests complete immunity to cold-weather damage.
